[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1575062, member: 24406"] Hey guys, We are the ones who manufacture the harnesses. So just wanted to explain the harness in case you didn’t understand how it works or is designed. The first feature is that they use a high end 16 gauge wire that is Teflon coated rather than a rubber insulation which can withstand extreme heat above and beyond most any other harness wire insulation. The second feature is that they use a high end solid ribbed high temp loom which meets or exceeds any factory loom that factory vehicles have on them. And they are superior to the rubber tubes included on most factory (including Baja Designs) factory wire harnesses. Most Custom harnesses out there don’t use high temp solid ribbed loom for added protection. They use a cheaper thin black mesh which doesn’t have any heat protection or much wear protection really either. It’s mainly to just group the wires. The Third feature is the interchangeable connectors which is what I think you may have gotten caught up on. They are designed so that you can use any plug to any light with that harness. The pink connectors are heat shrinking. You just need a heat gun shrink them the rest of the way down once you plug in the universal fit connectors. those same connectors allow you to be able to plug and unplug them from the switch wires and move them from one switch to the other without ever cutting the wires after. You can also simply plug in a stand alone relay if you want to put a light on a switch wire like 5 or 6 that don’t have enough amp power to support it. In other words. Baja designs uses 2 way Weather Pack Plugs on most lights. Some though, they use 3 way Weather Pack Plugs. In that case, you can plug either of them into the harness. Other brands like Rigid use a DT connector. Those also come in a 2 pin or 3 pin. You can use those as well. So the plugs then can just plug into the connectors on the harness for those that don’t want to crimp pins on etc. where that universal option really stands out are where people like to mix and match or select different lights. For example, if you put Baja 2 pin lights on now, and later swap 1 light that has a different connector, you don’t need to get a different harness. You just swap the plugs on the end. The same goes if you go with a different brand. We can send you the different universal plugs to connect to the pink connectors. So the reason they look like that is because of their universal features. while it may appear different than you expected, I don’t want you to think the quality isn’t there and get hung up on the universal feature portion. If you’d like to send us a PM with your address, and you’d prefer, we can send you the pins and a release tool to take the for the black plugs that you can manually and permanently crimp onto the harness ends and cut off the universal plugs. You can see a little more about them if you want to watch this- [MEDIA=youtube]CFzjdd3lmaY[/MEDIA] Feel free to reach out with any questions I’d be happy to help in any way I can. John [/QUOTE]
