Good morning Otto!

I have been following this post and have been thinking about your tip on replacing the wiring from dimmer switch to headlights. I was wondering if you replaced the pigtails also when you did this. So, some time back I had posted about my headlights being dim and I replaced the dimmer switch and it seemed to help some but not enough. I run them on bright but when meeting another vehicle, their headlights will wash mine out.

My truck has been completely restored but I believe the previous owner replaced the wiring harness with one for 12V, which is lighter gauge wire. I am looking at running 12G wire as you did.

Thanks!

Kevin
