Goal was to keep this retro as clean and OEM plug and play as possible..I think I have managed it.This is a DIY mainly for Bi-Xenon function.

Tools Needed:
Morimoto Retrofit headlights(with Bi-Xenon harness)
Old set of 9005 bulbs
dremal/cut off wheel
Wire strippers
JB weld
4-Female connectors or "D-Sub" connectors found at Radioshack
Electrical tape
test light
Difficulty:8-Takes time,Precision and creativity with electrical know how.

2)Cut the Bulb/glass part off using cutoff wheel:

3)Cut once again along top the "white" area of the bulb.pop off and set aside.Clean the silicone gunk out from in between the power posts.

5)Using the picture above,Cut half of the connector off as shown ^.
6)slide the connectors onto the posts in the bulb plug.

7)Unplug factory high beam and plug this into its place,Turn on the highbeam and use a test light to determine the postive/negative post.

8)once determined the power situation,crimp the Bi-Xenon harness into it matching positive/negative corresponding previous step.

9)mix up some jb weld and put inbetween the posts,then pop that white clip back into place(not needed,but looks nice) and let it dry.

11)Make it look OEM so wrap some electrical tape over the plug:

12)plug into factory Highbeam socket and the Bi-Xenon socket from the projector.

Why couldn't this post be up earlier? Haha. I just spliced the solenoid wires directly onto the OEM high beam harness. This DIY is definitely the legit way to do it to make it cleaner.

This is cool if I didn't keep my 9005 highbeams. Now I have double highbeams with the high on the xenon-projectors abd the stock 9005 highbeams for highbeam overkill! My fog option is fogs that I have installed but not wired up on my 02 coupe bumper conversion. I like this though, very clean.
