Supply List
First off, I got my lights cheap. $200 cheap. Only catch was they both had broken rear mounting points and one had a broken bumper trim mounting point. Nothing a little heat and solid 14 gauge wire couldn't fix. Just need to watch a
few videos and you're good to go! I added in the wire as extra reinforcement. The white is from added plastic. If you need plastic, any plastic cutting board should be good to use.

post on attaching the H7 adapters to the D2S bulbs.
I wanted to play it safe and wire everything through a relay. Makes it a little bit more work, but now the lights are on their own isolated circuit.
Relay location
Passenger side has the AC line mounted near the shock tower. Used that stud and bolt. Also connected the ballast ground here.
Passenger Ballast
Mounted through an existing hole. I did have to pull back the wheel well
(How To) to get in there though. Nothing hard at all.
Driver Ballast
On the battery box. I did have to pull the battery to drill the hole and mount it. You can also see the grounding point for the ballast.
Driver Dust Cap
Had to cut a small slit in the dust cap and then used side cutters to create the hole for the dust cover on the bulb connector.
Passenger Dust Cap
Same thing as the driver side plus two extra wires and the male H7 connector. The H7 connector plugs into the stock wiring inside the housing and is the control circuit for the relays. This way the lights are still controlled by the stock interior switch.
All Wired Up
Schematic
All Closed Up
Cutoff
They look great and they perform great! As I said in my earlier post, I had to manually aim each side as far up as possible because my leveling pistons were retracted.
DO NOT power the leveling motor and retract the pistons! As they are I would say they're 95% correctly aimed. They could still go up a couple degrees and be fine.
I absolutely love the Euro cutoff vs. US cutoff.
Makes reading road signs much easier and will make it easier to spot the pesky deer on the side of the road.

walkthrough in the OP of changing the stock wire harness to power the LED as the parking light.
