I've done it.

You just have to leave your light switch on all the time. They turn off when you open your door.

The plugs are the same, the problem is only that the car can't turn on the new DRLs, so it underpowers the HIDs if the light switch is off, which causes the lights to flicker and turn off.

Currently, there is no way to 'enable' projectors in a non SSS. Trust me, I've tried a lot! But, it really isn't a problem just leaving the switch on.

So the stock ballasts and everything that come with the headlight assembly will work correct it will plug into the non sss vehicles harness. How can I get the dealership to believe me that all u have to do is plug the whole assembly in like the reflector assembly they keep saying its not possible.
