I'm sorry for being a smart azt, 1 Wild RT. The headlight harnesses are listed under headlight wiring harnesses section, just keep clicking on the picture of the harness and you'll get there. I can't find the scotchlock harness you're referring to, but that doesn't sound good to me either.
Oh, I found it, but that's for fog or driving lights only.

It's supposed to be a decent one. I found the vendor here on Moparts. Some folks were happy with the quality etc. I'll get some pics posted of them once their here and installed.
I may break down and get a new M&H harness for the front lights etc from Mega Parts. If so, it will be after Turkey day. I'm out in the garage putting in an M&H rear light harness now, between Moparts sessions that is. The quality and authenticity of the M&H harnesses is outstanding!

www.rallylights.com IF your stock wiring is known to be in good shape AND you are using relays, you don't need to do much upgrading in my experience. I've used Hella H4 E-code conversion headlamps on my '77 B-200, '77 Aspen wagon, '90 Astro and '83 Toyota 4x4 pickup with no issues. I've found the 55/60W versions offer plenty of light, too, and Suquehanna (see link above) has a great description of why E-code (Europoean light pattern) lenses are superior to U.S. DOT lenses, which I agree with.

If you convert to H4 bulbs, a 9003 will have a better pattern.
After cleaning or replacing connectors and its still dim, check the condition of your floor dimmer switch.

everyone should go to this site and read. He has a P.H.D. and is known as the "lighting Guru",......... Of course, he also sells what he preaches, but the read is worth it. I opted for the E-code lights (European standard, MUCH better than DOT in light quality, focus, cut off, etc. and has higher standards than DOT) but the car is not on the road yet A relay system with redundant relays which uses the factory harness only as the trigger, is the BEST way to approach the lighting issue.

I don't think he's a PHD, but he does know his stuff.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

There's a lot of high quality lighting education on his site, and he has one stop shopping for excellent parts to build your own harnesses.
