Hello all:
Please read my other thread on Column Lock Bypass for information on my company and some background.
One of the most popular and best bang for the buck upgrades, IMHO, is a lighting upgrade to GM's Euro headlight assemblies. To do this, you usually need to cut into the factory wiring which increases the chance of failure and error and may void your electrical warranty. Not to mention it's not as easy to reverse as a plug and play solution. For those of you that like to drive fast at night, there is almost nothing more important (well, okay, brakes maybe) than good lighting. The Euro headlights have a superior beam pattern when compared to the US lamps. I run them on my car and the difference is (pun intended) night and day.
I wanted to let you know that we currently have a T84 (Euro) "plug and play" set of connectors that make installing GM's Euro headlight assemblies an easy five minute job. It requires no cutting and is easy to reverse. Comes in a pair (to do both sides of your car) for $xxxx plus shipping. Please note that you cannot safely increase the wattage of the H4 bulbs with these connectors as they are only a "conversion" connector and include no heavier wiring.
We are currently developing a low cost headlight harness which upgrades the entire system with heavy duty wiring, sealed automotive-grade relays, and all the connectors in order to run higher wattage bulbs. Once testing on my car is complete, I expect this harness to retail for around $99.99, again requiring absolutely no cutting.
Instructions for installation are located here:

but these include wiring modifications which you wouldn't need to do with either of the above-mentioned kits.
