Yes ! You need to know that Subaru use a permanent live feed and a switched earth, the opposite to most (older) UK cars...

HTH

P.S. The two wires merely switch them on, the relay harness sorts the load current from the battery.

Hi Richard. Do you have a circuit tester?
Can you give a FULL description, or preferably post a pic, of one of your kits with the wiring harness?

Are you doing dip, or main beam?

Hi, it's hard to see from that, but where does the black wire from the ballast go to? Or terminate?

What's inside the grey plug? How many wires, what colour?
And what of the instructions?
