the head lights are brighter and the load of power being pulled of from the headlights isnt as hard on the switch if you are using newer style halogen headlights since the power is coming from relays

I put one on both my bumps and the difference is pretty amazing...
Now it is comparable to all new vehicles with relay systems...
With out the harness there is a substancial voltage drop by the time it finally gets to the headlights thus affecting the brightness.
With the harness the headlights get full power...

when it's raining I sure do love my intermittent wiper, when it's dark I love the lighted gear indicator on the tilt column, when I'm hauling a trailer I love that trailer brake, but I love my sound system (radio, speakers, amp) all the time.
