My car was purchased with nonworking headlights. Switched over to H4s with the initial tune up and there was rust in the buckets and the shop spent some time looking at grounds etc.. and got everything up and going.
Now that the car has been stripped for paint, I have learned that I am dealing with frayed headlight wires. As you can see the shielding is stripped/melted and wires are a bit of a cluster F-ck. Passenger side is worse. What is the best way to deal with this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)     |

How far does the damage go back?
One easy way to deal with it would be to find a good donor harness, take what is needed and splice it in your car. |
