but great score on some nice headlights. Hopefully the beam pattern is correct, you wouldn't want the light to shoot to the opposing lane instead of the right side.

As for your connection issues, you CAN just hook them up to your stock harness, BUT its recommended that for the HID's you build a relay harness which will feed power straight from the battery. The reason is because HID's tend to draw a high amount of current during its initial startup and then drop to a low level after the bulb has been ignited, and over time that huge surge in startup current might be destroying something that wasn't designed to handle it.

It's a safety precaution, and a recommended one at that. I've seen people with other cars that have had connectors and wires fry.
