In the red circle is where the 7 pin connector should plug in. I am not totally sure where the relay is so maybe someone else can point that out.

Yea the ratings for regular bulbs are weird. They are no where near what HIDs bulbs are rated at. I am getting them and going to get the Nokya 2500k ones that are yellow.

there is. its for the oem ones (one sin the grill).
quick run down:

1take off bumper
2take those 2 plastic pieces of (just pinch in 2 sides and push right out)
3 put a fog in each one
4. connect the wires to the wiring harness
5. (after disconnecting battery) plug in the main part of harness to the plug located next to the CAI filter
6 ground the white wire to a peice of metal near it (there is one near the plug)
those are about th eonly differences from the OEM

you do not need to remove the bumper, just the splash guards undernead the bumper so you have access to behind the fog light slots

i got my apt fogs and waited until i got my yellow lamin-x yellow 14mil thick tint they turn out very nice. then i installed them and everything went great my install went like this:
1. disconnect + battery
2. take out driver side panel and take out black plug.
3. wormed my hand down and took out plastic plug on passenger side attached ground to bolt on driverside (other grounding wires were there.)
4 ran wiring to both sides and plugged in fogs
5 plugged in on/off switch.
6.checked, and worked.

then today i went to open sunroof and nothing it would not open. also my doors also lock after about a minute. will be searching but any help will be appreciated.

You have to re-set the windows and sunroof.

Manually roll down each window halfway and then hold the up button for about 3-5 secs.

For the sunroof what i do is just hold the close button for about 10 secs and u should hear a mechanism sound.

^^ If that doesnt work, read the owners manual for the exact instructions on how to reset the system. Hope it helps.
