The harness is actually really easy to install. Two wires go to the battery, unplug stock harness headlight connectors, plug new harness into drivers side headlight connector, route passenger side of the new harness, plug it into the passenger side bulb, (there is one for the drivers side bulb as well.) and connect two grounds.
I had to drill one hole for a ground wire, and that was it. With new bulbs, housings, and the harness, my headlights are MUCH better than before. I really like it.

I made that remark about questioning installation of the LMC 55-9505 HD harness BEFORE opening the package, I just read the few instructions on the package and looked at the harness under thr.hood to the lights.
ALL the wire are labeled where they go!!!! Boy do I feel stupid!!!!

Well I did order those headlamps mention earlier on Ebay. Once I get them in, will test out and decide if I want wire harness from LMC. Actually in a few days I will be over in Lenexa and could stop by LMC. Any place on here that shows how to aim headlights or should I just take it someplace?

Headlight aiming procedure is in the service manual. With help, its easy to set up. I have done this twice now, just putting the tape on my garage door, and aiming the headlights that way. Late evening is the best time, shortly before full dark.

There's not a lot of level ground where I live, so what I do is to hang an old door (though a sheet of plywood would work) on a couple of stands and in addition to the customary pattern markings I shoot a line from the center of each rear hub past the center of the corresponding front hub and mark it on the door. That way when I move the target and truck apart I can reposition the target to be in the right place just by reshooting those lines.
It'd be a mite trickier to adjust a wall, I imagine...

I found the instructions, looks easy enough. Then I knew it would be a problem, but put level on driveway. The 4 foot level was off about a full bubble which is what I would expect from doing concrete work when I was much younger. So if a 4 foot level is off that much, 25 foot would be a problem.
