Default high voltage bulb problem solved

I am sick of the stock head light bulb, it is weak and not bright enough, so I bough a set of super white 9005 and 9006 to replace the stock ones. guess what, the headlight sockets are burned.

it is Lexus, the sockets get burned? damn, ok, no problem, I bought a set of APC headlight harness upgrade. no more problem.

nice upgrade, i am happy now.

Default it is not head light assembly

it should be called the socket upgrade harness.

you don't change and don't need to change the headlight assembly, in order to avoid the socket to be burned, APC made some wires with some relay to let the socket to accept more high voltage bulb( better, brighter).

that is it.

it is very easy. but if you are first time DIYer, it may be confusing.

it is hard to see people from NY. I can show u mine when we have a meet. I show u some pics soon.
