If you have oem hids it's plug and play and everything will work just need new d2s bulbs. I'm still using my oem ballast also

Can someone take a picture of the wiring harness that comes with this? Last time I tried to do a swap with 06-08 headlights on my 2004.5 the high beams did not work, blinkers & hazards flashed really fast, and signals were on like DRLS so I gave up. One connector was 6pin, one was 8pin (I dont exactly remember which was which, it's been awhile). Also do you use the current existing ballast with a new bulb? or do you have to buy an 06-08 ballast & bulb setup entirely?

I didn't buy that option but when you order it from retrofit source it comes with these flat paper like ring spacers. The install instructions say to place the lens over that so that's what I did.

i just got my sti lenses and saw your previous photos but kinda surprised the cutoffs are not as crisp from the other photos i've seen. how far away did you have your car from the wall when you took those pics? do you get a sharper, more colorful spectrum when ur up close?

Only pic I got for right now.
Attachment 355232

so it looks like all you swap over is your hid ballast/igniter/bulb? all the other bulb sockets/wiring are included? (turn signal, side marker).
i'm coming from 03-05 NON-HID so just trying to figure out which parts exactly i'll need to source.
thanks!
