As the DIY states, there are certain steps you should skip if using the stock wiring. There is no cutting in the DIY. The drilling was just to make what I had on hand work. Saved me from having to buy some mounting hardware (I did not want to use zip ties or velcro).
Although I used the Mobile HID kit, this DIY could be used for any kit as they should be essentially the same.

Nice DIY tutorial. Noticed you didnt cover the squirrel spotters. You'll blind people. If you dont know what the squirrel spotters are, I suggest doing a search either on Google or on ToyotaNation.com. Not covering the squirrel spotters would give a glare and blind those in oncoming traffic and those in front of you.
I suggest going all out and get a TSX retrofit!

Correct, my plan was to not touch the squirrel spotters at first. If I receive upset flashing from oncoming vehicles I figured I would cover them. So far not a single person has flashed in numerous settings.
I still have to park my car with the lights on and drive toward it in another to see what it looks like.
Testing continues.

Feel free to provide a write up on performing this step and I can incorporate it into the DIY.
