[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1517588, member: 24406"] At SPV, we are constantly thinking of ways to improve our products to not only be the highest in quality, but also to make things simple for our customers. Since we are also customers, we often see these challenges first hand and try to overcome them. [B][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000]Custom Fog Harnesses...[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 1:[/COLOR][/B] Factory Light Kits (Rigid, Baja Designs, etc) typically come with generic harnesses or no harness at all. [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 1 Solution:[/COLOR][/B] We, and many others, manufacture custom harnesses that are loomed and cut to length ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 2:[/COLOR][/B] Some lights don't have plugs on them from the factory [COLOR=#ffffff][B]Challenge 2 Solution 1:[/B] [/COLOR] Many companies offer harnesses with one plug or another. The problem is when you mix light styles or when your lights don't have plugs on them. Often times these need cut off or you need to source or replace the plug style on your lights. [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 2 Solution 2: [/COLOR][/B] [U]Our NEW Universal Harnesses[/U] come with Heat Shrink Bullet Connectors that can be used with included bullet connectors on lights that don't have connectors at all (Like Radiance, Scene, 360) Or, our new Plug Packs simply plug in and you can pick from any connector style you need. Our new Plug Packs literally are the Legos of Harnesses. Any style, Any Type, Mix and Match. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 3:[/COLOR][/B] When permanently connecting your harness to your switch wires with a but connector or heat shrink, you're one and done. How often have people down the road added another light? Or ran out of switches? [B][COLOR=#ffffff]Challenge 3 Solution: [/COLOR][/B] With the preinstalled Bullet Connectors on the Switch Wire ends, you can simply unplug one wire and move it down. Or, combine 2 pairs into one with a pig tail connector. No more cutting those wires down to a stub... It's just that easy...
