Default Hid Head light install Question!

SO yea i know another question about hid's. BUt hey i'm trying to make sure I have everyhting before I start!

Has anyone installed these head lights? They have the hid's already in the head lights.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-0...em160173735591
so Before I install them i wanted to know if there is anything extra I need to do before I install them? I don't want to have to pull my bumper and head lights out then realize oh crap i need tmore parts HA HA.

They look to be pretty much plug n play and have two wires off the back of the head light which I assume is for the halo and led eyebrow and they have a pnp adaptor for the head lights to plug into. so it looks sinmple but I know when it looks simple it usually isn't so ha ha.

well, i seems nobody else had this problem but me: i have two seperate hid kits in my box(headlights/fogs) and both of them required for me to buy a relay harness (i got mine from mobilehid.com) in for them to power up. it was as though the stock wire harness was not providing enough power to the ballast to ignite the bulbs. each kit are different brands and types of ballasts. so just to let you know, if you get everything wired up and nothing happens, you may need a relay harness

Don't bother with those... just buy the headlights and get your kit separate. You need a kit with a relay harness to prevent burning your stock harness.

HID already in em doesn't mean anything either... they're just bulbs to install in the housing, you'd still need to mount ballasts, etc. and in reality, those would probably ship in two boxes anyway.

YEa i just tested them out and the stock harness doesn't seem to be strong enough. so i guess i need to get a relay harness also!

OMG it's so funny to see the stores on Ebay try to sell these damn headlights. That say "HALO" and picture blue CCFL rings as a representation of how your headlamps will look; when in fact, those lights you have don't even come equipped with CCFLs.

Ugh, disgusting... Hope you get the HIDs working though.

first of all follow this link http://www.mobilehid.com/scionlife.htm
its the h4 wire harness at the bottom of the page, it allows you to plug it in to your factory plug, regardless of what type of bulbs you have now with your projectors.
