I have pre LCI so I need more connections to be switched at the headlights, hence I opted for adding a new harness

addy27, this is the most usefull info anyone has ever given me in this forum. You are a real hero
Glad to be of help, feel free to ask more questions. I will try to fully install the new harness this weekend. It's in the car already meaning going from fuse box to the firewall under the carpet. I haven't yet made the needed hole and push the harness through rubber grommet that shrouds the harness as it goes out from driver side inside to the outside of the car. And for the passenger side I need to remove the blower motor cover to get the harness through since the HVAC structure is in the way. Then, once I've made sure of continuity, I can test the new lights without having to remove the existing ones just to make sure things work. Then it would be the bumper removal and swap.
