Competitive Comparison

Buying a quality automotive wiring harness is about asking the right questions. Before you buy any harness, make sure you know the answers to the questions below.

Features Hot Rod Wires® Our Competitors
Made In The USA? Most competitors source their harnesses from overseas.
100% Soldered Connections? Most wiring harnesses are crimped only. It saves money, but reduces durability.
Heavy-duty 12 Gauge Starter Wire? Many harnesses use lighter gauge wire, which leads to hot start problems.
OEM-Quality Made-in-the-USA Solid Copper Wiring? Many competitors use a blend wire material for the wiring to cut costs.
OEM-Quality Copper and Brass Terminals? Many competitors use off-shore knock-offs made from alumnium or tin.
Includes A Fusible Link? A fusible link protects your entire electrical system, but many harnesses don't include it.
Is The Harness Expandable? Many competitors use the lightest gauge wiring possible for their 12-circuit harnesses. If you want to expand, you need to re-wire the harness.
Compatible With Modern 100amp Alternator? Many harnesses are only rated to 60 or 75amps, which means they won't accommodate a modern alternator.
Heavy Gauge Copper Wire In Every Circuit? Heavy gauge copper wire is expensive, but it minimizes resistance and ensures proper voltage across your system.
Compatible With Halogen Headlights? Many harnesses use light gauge wiring for the headlights that's insufficient for halogen bulbs.
Built-in Theft Protection? None.
