You will need to purchase an H1 HID kit but other than that, yes they are plug and play.

email sent. I need a set for my 02

Alright, so... got my retros hooked up... both side halos and corner lamps work, both side halogen high beams work, passenger side projector works high/low... driver side projector does not even come on. No flicker, nothing. Set it up just like this, Red cable with the fuse holder connected to the positive battery terminal, ran down into the passenger fender, factory 3 prong plug connected, relay plug connected to ballast, input plug connected to passenger headlight, ground for passenger bolted down under the diagonal cross brace. Long side of the relay harness straight across the front bumper, set up all the same, except the one plug that would go into the "Input from car" plug is left hanging because there is nothing to plug it into on that side. Any suggestions?

Most likely it's a bulb or ballast. Quickest way to check is to switch the ballasts. If the working bulb switches sides then you have a bad ballast. If it stays on the same side then it's most likely the bulb. It could be in the wiring too so the only way to eliminate that after you do the first test is put the bulb and ballast that you know work and put on the side of the harness that doesn't work. (Only need to do the second test if the working bulb stays on the same side that was working before.)

If one didn't work you need to make sire the bulb and ballast both match positive and negative

^this... try and flip the plug around, the positive and negative could be flopped I've seen this 100x lol if it still doesn't work then try the other ballast like Muscle said

Double check the ground wire. Might be broken or bad connection where it is crimped

So wait you have two relays? As seen in the diagram? Seems excessive you only need one however if one relay isn't getting enough juice to switch power to the ballast I think that might be your issue

Yeah, that's the harness that The Retrofit Source provides with their kits.. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/hid...system-h1.html

However. Yay, I got it working! Im not sure what I really did, I pulled the boot from the base of the ground fork and then put the whole thing under the cross brace, all the way to where it clamps onto the wires, not just the fork part. Im thinking maybe that was loose on the wires and torquing down the cross brace clamped it all together harder. I also pushed the wires that plug into the ballast farther in, so the pins stuck out farther. Whatever I did, it worked great. Thanks for all your help guys.

And thank you, Classy. You were great to work with, provided great communication, were patient with my questions.. even went out of your way a little bit to make sure I got what I payed for as conveniently as possible. Not least of all, you made an awesome product.. I just took a drive and it's 2:30 at night. The low beams are so nice, the high beams make it like it's freakin daytime outside... they look awesome too. Crystal clear lenses and solidly mounted projectors.

Fully recommend anyone looking to get into HID's, well worth it.
