I agree with this one. The headlight relay mod is a must do for everybody. I bought two new relays and new wire and still got it done for under $20. Here is a link to a recent thread on this forum with a nice picture.

Another cheap mod I like is putting a quartz clock in the dash in the open hole to the right of the steering column. I think I paid $5 for the clock out of an 80s Suburban. I grabbed the Sub's factory connector. The hole in the clear plastic is made with a heated nail. I learned the heated nail trick on this forum. That clock keeps really good time. I have less than $15 into it counting the plastic polish I used to remove the factory markings on the back of that spot in the bezel.
