Default OEM HID upgrade help

I have spent countless hours searching the web for help with no luck.
My truck came with HID's from the factory and i want to upgrade to evox-r projectors. I want to use the 3five ballast from TRS and switch over to a D2S system with the custom block off plates. The problem is, i can't find anywhere about the wiring. I know there is a plug and play harness for trucks that came with halogens but nothing about trucks that came with hid's
I would like to know what kind of wiring is required. do i still have to use a relay harness or is my truck equipped with a relay system and is it just some simple wiring inside the headlight housing?
before i pull the trigger on this i would like to find out something.

Contact Dawson at http://www.raptorretrofit.com/. I am doing this exact thing as we speak and he is doing a "custom" 4 pin harness for it.

Except those aren't the stock OEM '13/'14 HIDs...

He's looking to do a projector swap (the EVoX-Rs are a direct bolt-in), which requires a move to D2S system vice the stock D3S.

Words directly from Dawson's email to me:

"You would still need the H13 harness but I would convert the input to 4 pin to match your oem hid truck."

It probably won't be long before they do introduce som hybrid feature... it would be nice to have some regenerative assistive thing going to get that city mileage rating down. I see some manufactueres are using compressed air now, which regens on braking. Brilliant.
