Looks like your ride should be plug-and-play except for adding a pair of "Bosch Box" relays to fool the lights-out warning in the cluster. On your ride there are 3 connectors, an 8-pin main and separate 2-pins for the High Beam and Turn. The halogen assemblies only have the 8-pin. So you'll cut or tape back the HB and turn sockets that come with the halogen housing and use your existing sockets and bulbs in the holes. The "okay" LED signal is in your 8-pins (position 2), it's a BRown wire on the right and a PinK wire on the left. The Low Beam signal (position 1) is a PinK wire on the right and bLue on the left. To avoid running a wire across the car, use a separate relay for each side. You'll need to "tap" the Low Beam wires, I suggest splicing a 3-way using solder shrinks and not using a T-tap or scotchlok. If you do use the latter, tape and RTV the connection to make certain it's waterproof and can't vibrate much. Cut the "okay" signals loose from the connectors and hook the harness sides of the cut wires to the relays. Hook the relays up this way (reference is to the terminal numbers molded into the relay housing):
30, 86 - Any ground
85 - "Tap" from Low Beam (PK right, L left)
87 - The cut "okay" signal wire (BR right, PK left)
87a (if present) - Unconnected
