Zs-ondabrain Posted September 27, 2004 Share #25 Posted September 27, 2004 Any takers,$44.95 + S/H for a harness that will reduce the draw on your fuse box by as much as 90%This will also drasticly reduce the wear and tear of electricity that normally burns or ruins your headlight and turn sinal switches, which will cost you big bucks in the end (IF you can even find the one your looking for)The new harness that I'm making only requires a maximum of 2 amps to operate the head lights, the run of new 12 gauge wire that powers the headlights, is as much as 60% shorter than the stock route that runs through relays, switches and the fuse box. Not to mention the umpteen yards of 35 year old wire in your Z .1) $44.95 for a complete harness, 2 relays, and O.E.M. plugs that intergrate directly into your 70-73 240Z. 2) No drilling, No cutting the stock headlight wiring harness, No more melted headlight fuses or fuse holders in the fusebox.3)It's as much as $150.00 for a new fuse box (IF you can find one)4) How much will it cost to fix the damage that a melted wire did to your Z.5) how much is it to replace your Z if it catches on fire.Dave in Marysville, Washington. 98270wolfin32z@yahoo.comLet me know if your interested.

240ZMan Posted August 8, 2005 Share #28 Posted August 8, 2005 http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10305When I did my conversion I wasn't aware of anyone who had made a harness already otherwise I would have gone that route. I will tell you that I measured the voltage across my headlights before and after and saw an increase of 1.5 V. I forget exactly what the values were, and since it was November in Colorado it was pretty cold so the battery voltage was lower than usual as well. But the point is that just changing the wiring in my case resulted in nearly a 35% increase in POWER for the lights. Even if I hadn't changed to H4s things would have been much brighter.I highly recommend upgrading your wiring for anyone with a 73 or older Z.
