Re-wired my Elky w/ a painless kit this weekend...

And it really was pretty much "painless" I also upgraded to a powermaster 140 amp alternator, as I plan on running several electric loads.

I wired the car up with an 18 circuit kit, and if anyone else is planning on doing this, and needs help or advice, please don't hesitate to drop me a note.

I also installed headlight relays, one running all 4 low beams, and one running all 4 high beams. Those lights are SUPER bright now, I love it.

I also converted to all electric senders on my gauges, and used the gauge harness from painless. Pretty trick, and it looks great as well.

Looks good!

Wayne, I wish I could have found a deal like that. I ended up buying spools of wire and making up my own for a little more than you spent on the kit. I used an ARC fuse panel from Jegs. Wiper and headlamp switches are from CenTech.

I really like the dual headlamp relays with all four low beams. And 4 halogen brights at full voltage are awesome for showing some oncoming idiot that you don't need those blue/white "euro" lights to blind oncoming traffic. ;)
