So anyhow, when the high beams come on, the relay will close and feed power to the low beams. Normal low-beam operation is unaffected. I think I'd recommend running a separate power feed to the low beams through the relay, rather than trying to run all four headlamps using the power feed for the high beams.
The $&%@ Lamp Monitor tells me I have headlamp problems whenever I turned on the highbeams!
I looked thru the wiring diagrams, and it'* probably fixable using a basic little diode or something where the sensing wire comes into the monitor module (to prevent "back feed" when both circuits are hot), just been too lazy to dig any deeper into it

The kit I got had a 9006 compatible bulb, so it fit in the stock housing with no monkeying around. The bulb is a little longer and thinner than a normal 9006 halogen.
HIDs have a ballast to boost the volts so you don't need any extra power supply.
Hopefully the rest of these FAQs will get written up.

hee hee.. have to 
next is the bling bling...
Quick question though.. if I wire up to feed back before the transformer.. will it loop back into the switch for the normal headlight and throw some error code? or on my Driver info? Or should there be also a relay there?
