I just got my kit in the mail. Great looking kit with what is obviously a lot of attention to detail and quality parts. Also, the most comprehensive installation instructions I've ever seen! Thanks for a great job, Rob!
 
My kit is showing delivered, will look at it when I get home from work. If anyone is interested in some before and after pics I can get some posted up after I am finished with the install.
 
Foster, thanks for the positive comments, especially regarding the instructions. I got plenty of help from Hemitheus and 6pk2goDemon on them. It was a team effort!

Steve, if you could post before and after picture, that would be great.

Thanks for the purchase.
 
Mine is in the mail. Sorry about the confusion rob. I don't use paypal often. Thanks for the speedy service. Hope to do the install this weekend. I'll try to post some good pics when it's done. May put a new set of headlights in also. Don't know how long mine have been on the car or what brand they are. Do you still recommend those GE nighthawk headlamps?

Yes, GE H6024nh work really well for a low cost halogen upgrade
 
Instead of posting the usual pictures of brighter headlights I thought I would share some pictures of where and how I placed the relay kit. I ordered the kit from Crackedback (Rob) sans heat shrink, had him leave the terminals off of the power and ground wires (he did include them with the kit) and include extra long power lead wires. The ability to custom order the kit the way you want and the quality of the components is part of what makes this such a great deal. The pictures detail the install.

I finished installing the headlight relay kit. It definately made the headlights brighter as well as the dash lights, marker lights and tail lights. I was planing to post some pictures but they don't do any justice. I also installed some new headlights. I used the GE H6024nh. Again, they also were a big improvement over the old headlights. The install was very simple and organized. I'm very happy with it. Thanks again rob.
 
I finally got time to install the kit in my 73 Dart, looking through the pics again, my install is not as neat and tidy as some that are posted but all is in and working. I had planned to install under the battery tray but have dual horns taking up that area. I ended up mounting on the top side of the fender well between the battery and the fender. A huge difference in the before and after shots, went from a yellowish, amber color to a clear white light, money well spent.

Recieved my kit from Rob the other day, finally got around to installing it. The car is a 1966 Valiant 2 door post with a new 340/904 with 4.86's/TrueTrac in a 8.75. I couldn't believe how much difference there was. My headlights are Sylvania Halogens.

Thanks Rob, great upgrade, well worth it.

Russ.
 
Like I posted before on another post, by far one of the best upgrades i've done to my 69 dart. I put mine in about 2 months ago, and wow it's unbelievable how much brighter my headlight's and dash are! Well worth the money!!
 
Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Looks like some nice improvements over the stock wiring. Not sure how anyone can claim the stock wiring is sufficient after seeing the pictures. I do know that pictures usually don't show the improvement your eyes actually see.


Thanks again everyone.
 
I received my kit today and was impressed with the craftsmanship. I can't wait to install it and see the difference.
 
I didn't buy a kit from crackedback (yet), I opted for SlantSixDan's kit (doesn't include wiring, hence cheaper). However, I wished I went with the cracked kit for this reason alone:

Driving to NAPA, buying the wire, cutting it a little short for the high beam run, having to go BACK to NAPA, buy more wire, oh forgot more crimps, oh look Seafoam is on sale, etc., etc., etc.

It's the time investment that people seem to quickly forget about (myself included). Having ALL the material on-hand to complete this as a first-time A-body relay-installer means I will spend less time monkeying around selecting the right wire size, ensuring I have enough crimp connectors, etc. and have more time to do other things. Sure, the double NAPA trips were the fault of mine, but it's not something I would have foreseen as I'm just not an electrical guru. Those packs of NAPA 12 gauge wiring look like they'll run all the way to the moon, till you start running a couple feed lines to low and high beam bulbs. It eats up wiring fast.

BTW, Dan's kit was great, top quality components. I don't want people to think it wasn't up to snuff. Crackedback includes wire, Dan doesn't.

Luckily, I have 3 other Mopars that will need this upgrade including a 4 headlight C-body, so expect me as a customer someday soon.

That's a great synopsis. Dan has a very similar base kit to what I use, indeed they are good parts you obtained. The cost of those wire packs add up fast, especially if you want different colored wire to make home run lines all the way, no extra crimping. And if you get a decent crimper for the open barrel connectors, those are in the $20 range and up.

If you want to buy more than one kit at a time, I do provide discounts and also have a customer loyalty discounts for later purchases.

Thanks for the post and PM me when you are ready for a kit.

I think I've answered all PM's received. I apologize if I missed some that were from a couple weeks ago. Just didn't see them and that's my fault.
 
Hope everyone had a great holiday and new year.

Got some kits out and thank you
 
All PM's answered.

Thanks to those that have purchased kits.

If you have a Dakota with the 9007 bulbs, I may be able to provide a kit for those trucks.

Looks like the PO dropped the boxes I tend to use to ship the kits out in on their last update. They apparently made a mistake and are adding them back to the available options which hopefully will keep shipping cost a bit under control.
 
I'd like to add my praise for the superb headlight relay kit from Carckedback. Beautiful workmanship. High-quality parts. Perfect it! Excellent instructions. You can't go wrong with this.

I mounted the relays and fuses to the inner fender under the battery tray. I tucked the new wiring behind the existing wiring. Nearly a stealth installation.
