Well you already bought it but the harness isnt needed for the low beam headlights, it's the fog light housing that has trouble with 55w because of the small space.
Your OEM headlights are 55w.
And bob is right, DIY and save a lot of money. There are several DIY threads with detailed pictures.

awww man....
well it's too late now.. I had read that our headlight bulbs (stock halogon) were 55w so i wasnt worried about the heat part. I was sort of worried of the short circuiting/ electrical problems i heard about.

Using a true 55W HID kit is not actually "dangerous." The problem is that alot of vendors mate a 55W ballast with a 35W bulb (no names mentioned). They tell you that their bulbs are rated to 60W which is why it's ok to use them with 55W ballasts. However, they are essentially overdriving 35W bulbs with 55W ballasts to achieve more light. Overdriving 35W bulbs with 55W ballasts will cause them to burn hotter and burn out quicker. This is what makes 55W kits notoriously unreliable and "dangerous."

oh wow ok.
well, i kind of feel bad that i didnt buy the kit from a CL vendor. But i did look at your 2 kits but i couldnt afford them. I could barely afford this right now. but i do know that after a while i will get the "Extreme Digital Kit." Right After i save up and get the Valentine 1 Radar.

No worries!
For anyone else is interested in a XenonDepot HID kit, there has never been a better time to purchase one. The current website pricing is the lowest we have ever sold the kits for plus you get an additional $25 off and free shipping within the continental USA when you use the "CL" coupon code.

Seems straight forward : pos neg and a relay possibly. Thats just based off the first review which is pretty straight forward as well. One plus in vendors here are the support after the fact. Maybe one will throw u a bone and convert u to a faithful ^_^
Disconnect ur battery and have some fun op... Not too many steps here

Yea, i agree with you.i should have gone with a CL vendor but as i said in my above post that i could not afford it at the time. I will get more HID's for my fig;s and maybe even my high beam. so i will def get them from CL vendor's.
But, i guess i will figure it out on monday. And post pictures for everyone to enjoy!

Well, i got the HID's installed today. I couldn't figure out the harness so i left it since members here said it wasn't necessary for low beam. So, after installed, i nearly had a heart attack because the "VSC" light and "Engine" light came on. I seriously had a panic attack but i have a friend that works at toyota help me with the install and he told me not to worry and reset the lights and they went away. he said IF there was a problem, then the lights would have came back on....
I'll will post pictures in about 2 or 3 hours...
Stay Tuned!
