If you're going H4's (even if you don't use the H4 connector, for say,
the type 44 turbo headlights, totally different connector) use the Super Heavy duty model. 14ga will barely support a 55W H3 + 60W Hi H4 
combination. The four relay 12 ga model will support anything you would normally do for a street driven car.

They've recently made some changes. They no longer make a "standard" harness, only the heavy duty and super-heavy duty:

The Heavy Duty models are 14 gauge while the H4 Super Heavy Duty model is 12 gauge (again this model is available only for H4) and uses 4 relays.

If you choose the SUVlights harness, and intend to run higher wattage (i.e. 80/100W H4 instead of 55/60W) make certain to select the Heavy
Duty harness which comes with (as I best recall) at least 12ga or 10ga
wire. The standard harness is not up to high wattage bulbs (14 ga).

For the harness, you can either make it youself if you are handy with electrical 
stuff or buy a premade plug & play harness. For a good P&P harness at a great 
price, check out SUVLights: http://suvlights.tripod.com/suvlightscom/html/wire-harness.htm They are great to work with an will do a custom harness with any 
kinds of connectors you need for very little extra over their preconfigured 
harness price...

I have a '87 5kcstq w/the abyssmal US headlights. Me needs euros. I snagged 
some used Hella Auxillary headlights for cheap. But that's not as 
"elegant" 
as euros.

I've noticed that the non-turbo euros are WAY cheaper than the turbo 
versions. If I decide to go that route, check my checklist: I'll need wiring 
harness (who sells these?), non-turbo grill, bulb(s). Is that it? Can anyone 
w/btdt's let me know what all I need? Side markers? Seals? Buckets?


t.i.a.,
Chris
