I have acquired a set of 2011 oem hid lights from my friends son's car but my 2012 car is a non-HID model. Anyone know what it will take to make it work ?

If its like the 05-09 the harness is completely different and had relays built in for the hids. I just did this and even having the correct harness i still had to solder in 2 diodes for them to work right

There is a good DIY write up floating around somewhere idk if its on here or where ill try and look for you but it is the one I used and was step by step with PN's and all for the diodes from radioshack. But there is NO way in hell if i had oem PROJECTOR HIDS that I would not install them. I am in love with the oem projectors. Retrofit is on my long list of to dos to OL black before i call her done
