Muddy,
I have the ARB one on my Rodeo and I assume that for 300 bucks the Piranha is the same as mine was not only the loom but also headlight inserts with higher wattage bulbs and, whether it is a wank or not, supposedly different reflectors that cater for the larger bulbs.
All I know is it is bloody fantastic as with my high beam I hardly ever use my driving lights.
All the loom is, is a plug that fits into the head light plugs which connects to the power side of a relay. The switching part of the relay switches a high current cable directly from the battery to the head lights. So... when you turn on the head lights.. it turns on a relay,,, that powers the headlights directly. This takes out of the circuit a mile of cabling and places higher rated cable to accept the, in my case, 150 watt high beam bulbs.
In escence, a relatively simple wiring job.
Cheers
