Do you have the factory HID harness for the MR HID headlights?

If you dont then you need a conversion harness one that takes the 9006 connectors and converts them into the HID connectors.

Yeah bro i have the headlight harness its still the factory one i didn't change nothing but the harness from the car that plugs into the headlights harness the plugs different i guess because the rs didn't come with Foglights that's what im assuming. But i was wondering maybe someone have done this before could help me out

So the HID bulbs are D2S and if you want to run those HIDs you will need something like this:

I would recommend finding the original RS headlight harness and running aftermarket ballasts so that you can use the HIDs.

Yes I understand that the MR harness does not fit. You have only one choice and that is to use the RS harness.

On the RS harness you have two connections for two bulbs. One low-beam and one high-beam connection. The high beam is the same bulb for both headlights. The low beam is different. Just use a 9006 HID bulb instead.
