Need Some Help w/ DIY FX35 HID Retro-fit

I am getting a pair of FX35 projectors on Monday, July 21, and I have a few questions. I bought these housings (Except w/ clear reflectors):



I am looking to replace the current projector (which is crap for HID), and replace it with FX35 projectors. I am looking to have both High and Low beams from the same projector and use the High beams on there now as fog lights (Like an Evo headlight).

My only questions are how I would wire it up. I am looking to get these, but I'm not sure how to get the High beams to work. Would I need the Bi-Xenon Wiring Harness? The only applications they have are 9004, 9007, H4, and H13. Which would be easiest to hook up to a H3 (low beam) and H1 (high beam).

Thanks again! Please PM me if you can help!

Here is what my current setup looks like (EWWWWW):

Do not use any type of plug and play kit. A more reliable substitute would be an OEM application from a TSX or a TL or anything for that matter.... Check up on those sites mentioned above they'll help you a lot.
Using the high beam reflector as a fog light is implausible because it produces a copious amount of glare(being a high beam which is made to reflect as much light as possible in as large a range as possible). Bad idea because you will have glare in everyones face when you drive. If you want to use a single beam HID projector you could use that in place of the projector on the headlights your gonna buy and then use the high beams as such.

Where are you getting your 55watt HID? I have a set of DDM 55watt HID kit with D2S bulb, D2S connector cables and the wire and harness if you want it.

This is how the kit looks like,

Actually, my high beams suck. They are more focused to the center and are more like spotlights than anything. They have very little spread, and I am quite confident that they would be good foglights. I'll try to post pics later tonight.

Josh at IznTrbl let me down. He hasn't shipped it yet, and he has not responded to the many phone calls and e-mails. HID retro-fit will come another day...
