universal wiring kits

Painless is more expensive than EZ wire but Painless has very good documentation. The step by step approach makes for a good manual and info is correct. EZ did not have as good of a manual and found conflicts in wire numbers and color specified at least on the kit part # I checked out. The overall component quality of each was good.

If you are comfortable with electrical installs EZ is less $$ and all the circuits are there but maybe a different color/number. Painless is easier for the guy who needs good documentation with point to point charts IMHO anyway. I found the 20 circuit kits a better buy than the 12 circuit kits as far as bang for the buck. The larger kit allows you to add the relays and extras that make things a cleaner install. It is nice to have a spare fused circuit and easy to tuck way for latter if not used today.

For what it worth for the Aussie guys using the Mitsubishi column. I scoured the wreckers to find the plug that matches the mitsubishi column plug. I then spliced this onto the painless harness.

As said I used the Painless harness but ran another power circuit (heavy wire) to the front of the car from the fusable link. This wire then provided the full power for the lights, radiator fan and horn via relays and fuses.

My battery is in the boot so a circuit for the fuel pump relays are right where you want it.

The painless wires then just become a trigger wire for the relays.

It does mean you have relays at each end of the car as well as under the dash but frankly the relays at the front and rear are much easier to get to then climbing under the dash.
