It might be easier for me to post the set in a reply here, format them to the forum standards then have you copy that code right into the first post. Let me know what you think.

Archtaan, how did you get the 08 assembly to fit? They appear to only be bolted on by one bolt per side and one by the motor which is now more in the middle. Did you just massage the metal down to fit the motor in? Do you remember what wires you spliced in for the new plug?
THANKS

Here is the complete harness kit. Bulbs are 5K’s and came preinstalled on the sockets. All of the connectors are weather pack sealed. The positive and negative terminate in ring connectors. Took about 1 hour to install including taking pics, although it was over two days since I wanted to do some night shots.





Everything was super simple to install. Ground both controllers and hook up the positive. Comes with a pre-installed 30amp fuse. Attach the relay near the drivers side battery. Preassemble the whole harness and plugged in all the connectors prior to installing. It was easier to match up the colors of the wires since some of them get tucked away and it would be harder to line up the connectors in the correct orientation. Most of the connectors are labeled so it was easier.

The only tricky part is you need to re-use your factory light socket lock rings. Remove from existing lights. Slide new light assembly in and install in housing. It is a very tight seal so be ready to make up a few words since there is also very little room to work with the batteries and such in place.

You have to install these three connectors into the drivers side factory light harness to control the new lights. It took a bit of trial and error but you will finally figured out the right combo. Get it wrong and only 1 high beam will come on or both will come on and not turn off.




After figuring out the right combo, install the new connectors into the supplied connector. The spades lock in and the new plug attaches to the Ford harness perfectly.



Now for the back part, I had to run the factory lock retainer from the end of the wiring loom up to the back of the HID housing. Its a tight fit and it will work.

Now place the bulb section in the factory retainer from the front you will have to line up the 3 or 4 notches and it will drop in and twist.

The tricky part is you have to recouple the two parts. Push hard (watch the bulb) and twist it clockwise I believe back to the lock position. (double check that) You will now have a complete unit ready to install in the housing. Before attempting to install in the housing, hook all the wires because the are hard to see when its all said and done.

The new HID bulb fixture is an extremely tight fit. Line the notches back up, push hard and twist clockwise towards the passenger side.



Video of the bulb. It moves position to go from low to high. You can hear the solenoid clicking




HID highs and factory fogs. Note color difference

New HID bulbs installed. I used a mothers headlight restoration kit to clean up the lenses as well.
