does this kit come w ith a relay harness?, i cant tell with you pics. the question mark you got to the left, what wire is this? you need a better pic showing what it goes too. the bulb on the rigth of the pic has the prongs to plug into your passanger headlight harness, its for the hight beam. those wires coming out of the left bulb (with the blue caps on em) are to be spiced into the wires for the high beams on the driver side.

by the way, if you dont have a relay, your gonna need one. the stock xb wirring wont supply enough juice to fire up you ballast. get one from mobile hid. they can be found under sponsored sales.

If you're running HID, run a harness... xenons require a huge voltage spike at startup. Over time, that voltage jump is going to fry the stock harness. Better to spend a few bucks to generate that voltage from the battery rather than drop a ton for a replacement headlight harness.

yea those plugs just goes back from where you took the old harness out and i don't think you need a relay. i'm running mine without a relay. plug and play. but what i notice is the guys with bi-xenon is the ones running relay, not the single low beam.
