Thank you for the quick respond! Now, I am not sure if I want to do the retrofit if I loose the high beam (safety concern?).
One more question, would it kill the LED bulb or blow the fuse if I accidentally flash the high beams? TIA

I purchased everything the OP recommended. The iJdMToy CAN Bus did not stop the LED from flickering; as a matter of fact the capacitor on one of them blew out after couple minutes (yes, I followed the instruction to the teeth and checked out the polarity before install the harness). I did some researches and there were many complaints with the CAN bus didn't work or fail prematurely. I decided to just install the LED without the CAN Bus and ignore the flickering (only noticeable if you look closely.
