Wiring a nightmare - avoid at all costs

This automotive wiring product was a complete letdown. As my tests showed, the wires were poorly designed, and the instructions given did not match the wiring set included. Though a pro was the price, it is not worth the headache of dealing with incorrect instructions and poor design. The cons, however, were overwhelming, which made the installation very difficult. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better quality wiring product.

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • Requires basic knowledge of vehicle wiring for proper installation

Pros
  • External accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time
