Did you guys need to buy a new led relay to install on the car as well as the high beams back cover? Also, has anyone wired their LEDs to be intermittent when the signals are on such as they are on Audis? Or does everyones LEDs remain lit when the signals are on? Apologize in advance if it sounds like idk what im talking about.

If you meant the LED harness then yes you will need one for each headlight as well as two high beam covers. These are required only if you're buying off of eBay, which typically sells stripped down sets. The flasher relay for the rapid turn signal is optional, it won't affect the LEDs if you don't get it. Also, I don't think anyone has been able to wire it to have the Audi-style turn signal logic, but I'm sure it is possible if someone skilled enough can utilize some relays and clever wiring.

Dannyk: I didn't have that issue. Everything was working that I could tell (highs, lows, turn signal) once I plugged the headlight connectors. The only thing I'm not sure that's pinned is for the auto level motors which I have yet to see go up and down.
Can you take a picture of your headlamp connectors, I can try to help you or someone can chime in if your harness needs to be repinned properly.

Did you guys fit the headlights with the cap underneath on? I believe it doesn't fit on the isx50. Please see the picture below.

Questions.
I have completed the entire process as directed, however both my LED light wont come on. Again, you cut the green wires on the led headlights and then ground those wires? Then you cut the red wires on the LED headlights and then connect it to the wire going to the Fuse Tap? I have a Fuse Tap with two slots. What amp fuses do I put? The IG2 has a 10 amp fuse. Any help would be great, as I am so close.
Thanks

Just add another 10 amp fuse in the fuse tap.

Hey One SiCkF,
What did you do to cover the square opening where the AFS controller with lid goes over? Will not spend 400$ for AFS controller, especially since the AFS feature wont be working.
Anyone else care to chime in?
Took lights out the box ready to install and saw this opening with no cover...worst feeling ever
