Use the relay. its there for a reason. Not sure what u mean by tabs but heres basicly what the entire relay is.



only thing thats missing is where the factory plug plugs into the relay on the drivers hand side.

yea. the drivers side should be plugged into the relay. the passenger side should be just chillin there. U actually see my passenger plug just chillin in the last pic. don't plug ur factory plugs directly into your ballast. that's how you fry your harness.

OK...so to intall the kit.....first i need to plug in the bulbs and then hook up the ballast and power wires to the battery and then plug the factory plug into the remote turn-on plug.
Is this right??

When your connecting the wires to the battery do you do the POS first then the NEG? Can I use a tool to unscrew them or is that bad idea

well im pretty sure you need the 9006...its up to you for the 6k or 8k. it's just the temperature of the bulb i.e. the color.

^^ you can't. Those badges are for RS cars only. If your car is an RS, which for the 07 was the Blizzard Pearl, you should have that badge.
