For me it was worth the money. My lights could still be brighter but this will give you good bang for your buck.

The harness (at least mine) was a little short and I have to extend some of the wires a little. My harness is still ran on top of the rad and attached to the crossover battery cable - still have to install it properly. Oh yeah, I also removed the fusible links and installed fuses.

No you need a Bright Box to do that or get creative with the wiring under the dash.

With the upgraded harness, the headlights work normally except you get a full 12V at the headlights due to the relays in the harness.

Thats for you to research and decide. I cant really tell you what is the best option because I havent tried them all.

I do know that the harness has worked good for me. Having low and high beams on at the same time is illegal in certain states.

There are other options like upgrading to sport style headlights with 2 bulbs in each light, HID Headlights, new light housings etc.
