Didn't come with a harness. It's under my impression I'll have to use the oem one on my car and the plug on the headlight. Pics is on my ig

You are looking for the post by Moto-P, I have installed these by following that and it is a breeze. The hardest part is getting the bumper off, and that is easy.

Give me a few seconds and I will post the pictures of my modified harnesses, all you will need to then is repin your harnesses to match mine and you will be good to go.

Did you wire the leveling switch? I know a few members couldn't do it.

I did not get the leveling switch as I read it was not necessary. I have been running my headlights for quite a few months and they have seemed fine without it. Everything is easily visible at night and no on-coming traffic has flashed me for bright lights or anything.
