Just buy new D2S bulbs, your OEM ballasts/igniters are fine and you don't need a wire harness because your car comes with HID from factory. Instead of spending the money on that kit, spend it on a set of high quality bulbs like the Osram CBB from TRS as well.

Osram Nightbreaker is my go-to.
I'm not a lights guy or anything. But these mothers are SUPER bright and focused. There is a notable difference.
My wife's car (Acura) has them. If I get out of her car and into my TL...MASSIVE difference.
However, we're entering summer. So...how often are you going to drive at night for the next few months? If I upgrade, it will likely be in the fall.
Or if we plan a road trip or something.

yeah i mean if you're willing to spend 175+ on a whole kit, i figured you'd be willing to spend 150 on good quality bulbs.. but then you posted Lucenta bulbs so then i thought you wanted budget bulbs and Morimoto is great at 50 bucks a pair
