^ for a factory 03-05 hid car, the 06+ are direct plug and play. (you can snip or keep the blue wire, that wire will make the orange turn lamp into a drl essentially unless you snip it)
the harness for the 03-05 is significantly different than for an 06+. even the bulb is different as the 06+ is a d2s bulb (true projector) where as the 03-05 is a d2r bulb (r being for refelctive). the bixenon lamp esseentially has a flapper so when you turn the high beam on, the flapper lowers itself allowing more light output. same bulb as your actual headlight bulb. the 03-05 uses a seperate non hid bulb as a high beam.
if the harness/ballast/bulb/ etc is included, thats a hell of a price. you can get oem spec depo (chrome) for about 375 a piece, fully equipped, and they are oem spec quality. depo hasnt let me down on any of the lights ive ever worked on.

Yeah keep us updated! If I didn't just get my headlights I would've been interested in these. I'm thinking depo just came out with these so I don't think anyone has them installed yet

Just a reminder, companies of authentic products dont lose too much business from replicas because customers that buy replicas wouldve never bought something 3x the price to begin with 
.
Also these are ONLY $289?? I would love to give them a try. I much rather prefer OE lights but Ive had DEPO before and they work alright. Not a big fan of the all black though. Does the seller also have chrome?

lol at the ability to turn ANY thread into a real vs fake argument. OP, in for final results.
Plus, you suck for having replica anything...........................................LOL!
just kidding. My old sig: "Brand name this, replica that-butt dyno approved"

I'd imagine you could just buy an aftermarket d2s hid kit instead of trying to source stockers.
Is the hi/lo flapper part of the headlight unit? I'd be concerned about the longevity of those components if anything. Everything else is just plastic anyways..
