By relay harness are you talking about the one from LMC that is supposed to make them better? I've been on the fence about if it's worth it.

Pretty much, but, it is designed for the non-sport trucks. You would be further ahead just buying some wire, connectors, and relays, and building your own harness..... Advantage being, you can use larger wire than the LMC harness.... theirs is better than stock, but, wire size is still questionable.

Ok cool, found the writeup in DIY section. Think I'm going to do this soon.

Not trying to be contrary but doing it anyway: AWG12 being 1.59 ohms per thousand feet, ten feet of it is 0.00159 ohms; throw 20A through that ten feet and the voltage drop is 0.0318V which is certainly negligible. Even if you could get zero voltage drop somehow it wouldn't increase measurable light output above that of the LMC kit, and with the voltage regulation being no more precise than it is on our trucks you couldn't get reliable measurements anyway.

The time and money I didn't spend on DIY'ing got spent on marijuana instead. In my world that's a good outcome.
