Wiring for a single beam D2S should be simple...will have to see what I get and what cutting and soldering I have to do, I guess.

I didn't have to solder anything, the relay harness connectors are all "plug in" as well as the ballasts. One connector from the relay harness snaps into the ballast + and -. The other ballast wires then snap into the hid bulb connectors. Run the (red) wire from the relay to battery positive, then run the 2 black wires to ground.

will have to have a look at what is in the box, but, I figured there would have to be some cutting required to trigger the relay from the original wiring

You should be able to pop a spade terminal into the correct old headlight connector position for the relay?

You could do it that way, but since I used a hid relay harness, the harness has a 2 prong male connector that you just plug into your stock harness. All I had to do was move one of the prongs on the harness to match the stock headlight harness pinout.( The tan wire on the headlight wire is lowbeam) this is what you will need to plug into, and of course a (ground)

Yep, I figured something would have to be moved but that part is relatively easy.  I will rig for a test and if I like the pattern and the light then I will do it right.

It is strange to me that no where have I found a simple how to do it posted as you have laid it out here.  I guess it is so simple that no one thinks there are dummies out there like me that need the abc approach :D

Steve, if you order from DDM tuning like I did, don't be alarmed on the shipping time it takes to receive them. When I ordered mine about a month ago it took about 10 days for me to receive the hid kit. From my understanding they have a warehouse in California, and one in China. Mine was shipped out of China, then it went through customs in New York, so it was about 10 days. Just giving you a heads up!

It is kinda amazing that this isn't posted some where in detail, but that's how people make money off of this stuff. Diagrams and pics are good and will help in the long run to make this work better. Thanks Steve.
