That is true =E2=80=93 I installed one of the kits on our GT6 and it =
worked great. Headlight switch no longer gets hot and the lights are =
brighter. Should have installed on years ago. I assume they included the =
directions shown on the website.

There is a special note at step 6.

Note: The original wires going to the low beams=20

and to the high beams each split so they can=20

feed both sides of the car. You need to connect=20

the wires from the relays with the male bullet=20

connectors upstream from that split. If you don=E2=80=99t,=20

only one side of the car will light.
