You want to see some carnage caused by a deer: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-splitter.html

Here's the first post from that thread
So I was going to work this morning doing about 70mph down a back road.. when a doe appeared before my truck..but I could not stop.. even if I was going 30mph!! Smashed the darn thing so hard it split the deer in half! I pulled off in a feild drive and coolant was leaking out bad.. so I had it towed.. Talked with the shop.. needs new rad. A/C condensor.. bumper core support and headlights... ordered the headlights, rad, and A/C condensor this evening.. bumper and front plastic from a 1997 at the junk yard $150 and $60 for the fender well plastic... might even get a grill fom the bone yard as well.. here's the damage!

So do you have the LMC kit? I've read that they aren't very good, too thin a wire and they're expensive for what they are. I've kicked the idea of putting my headlights on relays for a while now but I haven't done anything with it since I don't feel like tearing stuff apart only to find out I can't fix it. lol

Yes, the LMC Truck kit, and I've no complaints. The power conductors are AWG12 and so quite sufficient.

it is. on your 93 i would go 1 step farther and use a 3rd relay or a diode to turn the low beams on while the high beams are on. the only thing stopping me from doing that on my 81 is the 65 amp alternator. having the headlights drawing about 20 amps don't leave a lot for the rest of the stuff that needs to be run when you got the small 65 amp alternator. the 120 amp one you got should be more than able to power it.
heres a diy that should be the same as your 93. it would also work for other truck but your would have to change what plug you used.

How was the install? Too hard? I really don't want to totally hack up my factory headlight wiring, for OBVIOUS reasons.

Oh yeah: The kit comes with some punkass lookin' yellow sleeving more or less but not fully protecting the conductors. I hacked that crap off and replaced it with split flex conduit for better protection.

no but if you can apply power to your headlights while they are already on you will see the difference. it is hard to get a before and after shot of headlight that can actually show the difference which is why i showed pics of the backup lights. left and right backup lights are identical on my ramcharger other than 1 getting more power than the other.
now another reason you want to upgrade is so you don't kill the stock switches and headlight wiring.
