Doing a retro on 04 - 05 headlight. Any tips on how to open them? I see tabs on the edge but do i still need to bake them?

Yes you need to bake them. Do a search on retrofit headlight and there is a pretty long thread detailing the process.

Ha! Just exactly what I need. Thank you! Thank you!

Another thing, How do you hook up the power ( positive and negative) wires to a relay? Is soldering them directly ok?

You're running power from the battery, right, not the headlight plug? You can by a harness for around $30.

Yeap, the harness will be attached directly to the battery and turn on by relay. So I basically plug the pos and neg wires from the ballast to the harness?

Cool thanks... I seen alot on ebay. Are they any good? I mean they dont specify how thick the guage are and I also think that they dont come with the two fuse before it connect to the ballast. Any suggestion where a good place I can get them?
