Default Good wiring harness?

I am wiring up some good ole halogen KC daylighters x2 mainly because they are cheap and they better match my halogen headlamps.

There are alot of harnesses on Amazon but almost all are 14ga wire and some are copper tinned aluminum which is not best suited for two 150w lights probably close to 14amps between the two.

Rigid has some really nice harnesses but again even the D2 harness is only 16ga.

I am looking for 10-12ga. I realize I could build one but I don't have the patience for wiring.

I would really take a closer look at DIY. You can get connectors that have the same pattern as relays and you can use those crimp connectors with the gunk in them that you heat and it melts to make a nice, solid, water-tight connection so you can avoid soldering. Personally, I have not found an aftermarket harness that I like, as you said, they all use tiny wires and cheap connectors. I wasn't impressed with Rigid's harnesses either, I scrapped them and make my own for my Rigid lights.

Based on all the responses I received I have done exactly that. I am having a hard time locating a dual output relay locally.

I make my own. I got some Bosch five pin relays on amazon, a couple spools of 14ga wire and just solder them up myself.
