Since you're bringing up the switchbacks.... How would you install these? ...Don't over think this question, I understand how to install the bulb. Rather I am wondering if you had to install a load resister or if you simply replaced the flasher relay with a low voltage one?

you can wire in the load resistors. but from experience, pick up a tridon EP27 flasher and be done. i started with resistors because they came with my leds but after the solder job coming undone 24/7 i bought the relay and have been golden ever since. (the relay is behind the trim piece below your steering wheel)

one final question, what powers the projectors high low function? I see you had to run a couple wires through the back of the headlight, what do they connect to?
Those wire connect to the Hi/Lo function from the original HID kit. Since we used H13 bulbs which have built in Hi/Lo where-as the H1's dont... thats how it works.
