Default Stangmods HIDs question

I've been thinking about getting the Stangmods Dual-Beam HID kit for my 06. My question to those that have ordered their own kit, is everything included in the kit to just plug and play or do you have to get the upgraded relay thats also on the site?

Also, is the installation pretty easy and straightforward? Any help is greatly appreciated

I installed the dual beam kit about a month ago and it comes with the upgraded relay. Installation is very straight-forward and easy. I moved the air intake on the driver side just for ease of movement but I'm sure it can be done without doing that. Personally, I got some 3m adhesive pads to mount the ballasts with.. but that's just me. You don't need anything other than what is in the kit.

I have some pictures on my site (you should do a search, as I started a similar thread that got many
responses, almost the same exact title too).

http://web.mac.com/plutnicki/iWeb/Site/Mustang.html

Near the bottom.

The short story is, yes, it really is that straightforward. The harness and the ballasts connect
exactly as it says they do, it'd be really hard to get wrong. I had to reuse the gaskets on the
new bulbs to get them to sit tight. The ONLY harder part is finding a place to put the ballasts.
You can see where I mounted the relay and the ballasts on my site. The passenger side is 3m
tape. The drivers side is on one of the provided brackets, bent and cut to fit. Seems solid there.

I installed mine 1 week after i bought my car. I love them and they were a very simple install. Everything comes with it. I bought the 8k headlights and fog lights.
