The main difference in a generic 12 or 18 circuit panel such as our Power Plus 12 or 18 or a Painless Kit VS. our Classic Update Camaro Kit is how complete the kits are.
The Power Plus,
or similar kits, while very high in quality, are extremely incomplete compared to the Classic Update Kits. Keep in mind that these kits were purposefully designed to be generic - as they had to work in many applications, not one, as the Classic Updates do.
The Classic Update Kits include all the light sockets, connectors, terminals, and wire circuits that you will need to hook up anything from a slightly modified stock car to an heavily modified pro-touring car. You even get new updated ignition, headlight, and dimmer switches. The extra value that all these items bring to the table is why those kits are slightly more expensive.
If you choose to use a generic kit, from any manufacturer, be prepared to cut and splice 60+ wires using your 40 year old pigtails and switch connectors - which really isn't a very good idea. All the detail items that you get in the Classic Update Kits are not available seperately and if they were would cost an additional $200 - $300.
I hope this helps answer your question and thank you for asking it.
