Let me add a note at this point.
As some of you will remember, I have the "direct from alternator" harness
installed in support of 170 watt main beam bulbs.
I've discovered a problem. The harness is "economically" cut - the wires are
_just_ long enough - but fairly tight. Quite a bit of force is exerted on the
rear of the main headlight bulb. This force is _entirely_ held by the plastic
rocking lever that controls reflector aiming - and it's inadequate to the task.
If you fit one of these after-market harnesses, make sure that the forces
exerted on the back end of the bulb are minimal.
