Install is very simple, just unplug the OEM one and plug in the new one.
Never buy stuff like that from the dealer without checking CL first
You dont NEED a harness, as long as your kit is 35W and not 55W, you should be fine without it.
And yes, the HIDeXtra bulb does have the rubber seal around the bulb

It is recommended you use a relay harness but you don't have to. You can plug and play your HID kit and it should be fine. Your stock bulb are actually a 55W bulb, same wattage as the HID ballasts. TO BE SAFE, some people run a HID harness. It's like adding an extra fuse. Depending on some car systems, another plus for a harness is a better power flow to your ballasts. You can always just order a seperate H11 relay harness off hidextra or ebay.

I bought a DDM kit for my dad's truck two years ago. Right side bulb went out recently so I filed a claim online. Shipped the broken bulb out with a note of what happened and I received another bulb in about in a couple of weeks.
Good service but their quality went downill. Their packaging and shipping method aren't great and comes directly from China now. The shipping boxes are like 1-ply toilet paper lol.

Your car model isnt an issue. Ive heard similar things with DDM. I got a 3K kit from them because it was cheap and wanted to try it out. Nothing wrong with the kit itself, it just took a 2 weeks to ship straight from China. They are also notorious for sending wrong colored bulbs. I heard that every bulb is just on a shelf and gets mixed up with color colors

Update:
I received the HID Kit last Friday,
I also ordered the H11 wiring harness from amazon. It's been shipped, just waiting for it to get here..
Anyone get HID's installed through a shop? how much do they charge? A estimate would be fine..
-Thanks.
