did you need any other tools or equipment during the install? i've got projector headlights that i'm installing as well. which do you think i should do first? HID install, get it all set up.....then do the headlight install. i have to splice in the halo and LED wiring to the factory bulb wiring, is why i ask

Why buy new when you can restore?
Lookin' good! 
Are you doing HID's in the lows and highs or just the lows?
The LED's in the low beams look pretty bright!

I'm not sure what kind of bulb the low beams are? Are they usually LEDs in the aftermarket assemblies?
My plans are to go with the HID in the low's. I don't drive anywhere that the high beams are needed.

I just thought there was like an auxiliary LED in the low that was on when the halo was on for the high.Lookin' good!

I don't use my high's much either, but they sure light up the road! Mine are setup so that the lows stay on with the highs. I strongly recommend this. It will save wear and tear on your lows (HID's don't like to be turned on and off fast) and also be safer since HID's take longer to fully turn on.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying?
My set up right now is, Halo and aux (turn signal looking) LED are wired into the low beam so they are on constantly when driving around. Mostly just to look cool, I can't lie.
I just was starting my HID install, when I finally realized, "oh shit, the aftermarket bulb (H1) isn't the same as the stock bulb(9006). I ordered a kit including the stock bulb. So the HID install is pushed to the back burner.
Now, are you saying when I install the HID (using the relay like many have recommended) i should plug the relay plugh into the high beam instead of the low beam? Does this make since? Pictures of my current wiring for the Halo and LED aux lights will be up soon.

This assembly unlike some others keeps the factory set up of low beam on the left, high beam on the right. Easy to spot due to the projector on the left.
Here I'm holding the power wires for the LED and Halo. Red for the LED. White for Halo. Twisted them all together and put a male crimp connector on them.
The grounds, same routine
Here you can see all connections. To get power/ground to the headlights used a quick connect, with an additional wire fitted w/female crimp connector. Quick connect slides over stock wiring, extra wire slides in, crimp connector down, and good to go. Then simply male goes in the female. Then just plug in the headlight plugs.

What you want the relay to do is get its "signal" to turn on from the high beam power wire. Then put the power out of the relay to the low beam ballast power wire. This means that when the high beams are turned on, the relay will get the signal and send power to the low beam HID.
When I did my install, I ran all my own wiring and used two more relays than you are using and I also installed high beam HID's too. This is my wiring diagram for my relays. You'll have to use your imagination for your setup.
I really wish Bernie or Dennis (drperry) would chime in here. They helped me with my wiring. Without their help, I would have never gotten it to work right.
