You only need one as it comes with the following:

1 wire to the positive terminal on your battery
1 ground wire
1 relay
2 ballast connectors
1 connector to your stock headlights to act as a switch

The left side does not need to come up a bit otherwise you will be blinding the incoming traffic.

Thank ya sirr, she's clean!

You only buy one relay harness, it has provisions for 2 ballasts in it. Basically the stock harness triggers the relay to open up power from the battery to give a source for the ballasts to fire, thus not straining your stock wiring on initial turn on.

I did notice last night that they were aimed kinda high, but haven't had anyone high beam blink at me yet so we'll see. I'd like to do a fog light retro fit and get the signature yellow fogs like my is300 had (I loved the way it looked).

Better contact them, I ordered mine and then received notifications that they were on back-order for weeks. I wasn't in any rush to install them so it didn't bother me. It did take about 3 weeks or so to receive them because of the back order.

DDM is 10 min away from my house I'm ordering mine as we speak. Think I might do the oven thing to clean up and reseal my headlights while I'm at it.

Just to verify, our cars have 9005's right?

I installed the exact same kit, but the inline fuse kept on getting so hot that it'd melt the plastic on the fust, but not actually blow the fuse. It was weird. I still don't know what to do.
