Installing aftermarket HID

Hi -

I am in the market to install an aftermarket HID as one of my stock igniter is bad... pretty much I am set to go with either HIDextra but their kit does not come with a harness that plugs to the stock headlight harness unlike the one TRS is selling.... someone posted to use this for a PnP install http://www.ebay.com/itm/331169507298?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITBUT I did find this instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331730847836?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Is the latter product the correct type of plug/connector that our 2G TL use that connects to the stock harness? I like this second one since it gives more option in terms of pig-tailing it to aftermarket ballasts...
Thanks!

They work the same way but the first one is Plug and Play to ANY aftermarket ballast using the 9007 & 9006 plug < Which are like 99.99% of Aftermarket Ballast.

Thanks. I guess the ones that HIDextra sells uses the 9006/07 plug?

I cant say since I haven't bought from HIDextra but just look at the plug, if the ballast Input Socket looks anything like these:

The Matsushita Universal connector will plug into those ballast.
I actually bought those Matsushita Universal connectors, If you want more clear pics of them I can upload them.
