Hi, Royce (and everyone here).
I finally got around to fitting the new headlight loom, and had to put this up as a result.
First and foremost, your loom is a very nice piece of work, one which I am very happy to recommend to all here. As an electrically challenged individual, I had no difficulty in fitting this kit, and the end result is a very noticable improvement in light output.
Great work, great result. Who could ask for more?
Many thanks, mate.
Now to fit a set of spots.
weelz.

It didn't on mine. It just filled in some of the dark spots a little. Still need to get some phillips + bulbs though, cos mine are quite yellow

Hi, Stocker.
SV420G. Lights were dismal(read; CRAP), now very good.
Hi, Royce.
Took it for my first run on the highway last night, & it became obvious that the lights were set too high. With the original light output, the top edeg of the light pattern was too dim to see. Now the lights actually work like they should, I can see they need to be adjusted down a fair bit. Once again, I recommend this kit to all. It's given me a huge increase in light output. My opinion, this loom is worth every cent. I bought the loom with the spotlight wiring. For 20 bucks extra, it's a no brainer if you're intending to bolt on a set of driving lights.
Thanks, Royce. Great product.
Hi, Fatzook. I'm pretty sure my lights were working in reverse, sucking in available light and projecting dark matter. The night seemed darker with the lights turned on. Had original 60/55s when I bought it. I switched to 60/55 Narva's, no better, then went to the same 100/90's that I ran in my old SV416(which were bloody good), and the SV420 lights were still crap.
I'd say from driving impressions, I've got a 50 to 75% improvement. Better than my old SV416. I'm very pleased with the result. Starting to wonder; if I buy another loom & wrap it around my fat gut, will it make me lighter too?
weelz.
