I cant see any reason why that wouldnt work - the diagram looked alright. Try it - dont think you could hurt much.

I used the fuses between the battery and LMC harness for the headlights - if you look at the wiring diagram that came with the harness it shows two fuses (but they arent included). Good idea to install them in case you ever have trouble - you can just pull the fuses. JMO.

as far as wiring a relay. you olny need one fuse, it will be between the battery and the relay. then the wire from whatever source you want to trigger the relay. a ground wire. and lastly the wire to the lights.

no other bulb comes close to the light output or quality of a PIAA bulb, have these in everthing I own. Most people won't spend $70.00 for a pair of bulbs, but there is no comparison. Also check out there wiper blades, again nothing comes close. http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs.html

I think that is the difference between the Sport lights.. and the standard lights..

Yes they seem to be. I think I might adjust them down a bit to get it perfect. But driving with these lights on low beam is awesome. I dont need my fogs or high beams. I turned them all on (highs,lows,fogs) on the way home and it was INSANE, I dont need that much light at all.

The harness is reccommended even with a stock setup. I would for sure get it with the higher draw of the Flosser 9104s

Im cheap and a fairly advanced wirer/installer. Wiring relays are no problem

what exactly does the harness do?
