Yes I have the raptors, no issues from them, and there is no harness. You could add one, but I haven't needed one.

Just a little suggestion: Don't go driving around with 55W HIDs in your fogs (unless you're out in back roads). I'm pretty sure you guys have no glare shields in your fogs. At least the headlights have a glare shield, so it isn't as bad, but fogs are close to eye level for most of the oncoming traffic. If anything, get 35W 4300-4500, so they'll match the 55W headlights.

Just a suggestion...

I want to ask a few questions before I buy....

1.If I buy a 35W Bi-xenon kit it WILL come with a relay harness? If not, what do I have to do to get one?

2.A harness is NOT needed for the fogs?? If so, why wouldnt they require one since they are the same wattage?

3.Go with the Raptor over the slim?

Thanks for any help...

I have a relay on mine. They'll fire without it, but it's better to have one in there me thinks. I didn't run one with the fogs, though. Granted I never really turned them on because my driver fog's glare shield came loose, and the glare was horrible (even with halogens in there.)

By three kits, I assume you're putting one in the high beams? Not sure how your experience will be, but I didn't notice that big of a difference in the high beams since the light just seemed to scatter everywhere (probably from not having the right focal point). That, and I always felt the bulbs would fry quickly from all the on-off of having to dim your highs for oncoming traffic.

EDIT:
In reply to mgp
1. Yes, the bi-xenon should come with a relay harness. This is also to power the solenoid that moves the bulb in and out.
2. Technically you don't need one since the kits are plug and play, and they draw less power once running. I'd still get one, though, just to help the wiring from the start up current. That, and so you don't have to deal with the stupid spades that come with some of their single xenon kits (not sure which ones do that.)
3. Not sure on that...
