2000 LX470. My drivers side low beam and parking light both went out last night. After looking things over, I see the PO has some aftermarket bulbs in the low beam housing that have melting connections. That explains the low beam but doesn't explain the parking light. I have a whole new kit but don't want to go through the hassle of replacing everything, installing new ballasts, etc, only to have a similar issue. any ideas? The pictures show the melted driver's side and a clearly heat compromised passenger side. Also pictured is the kit I bought before the lights went out because these headlights are terrible.

I think the new kit will need to wait until I talk to HID Kit Pros. The layout does not seem to be compatible with the OEM headlight wiring harness. Or...just as likely, I am doing it wrong. The kitchen table pic shows the system laid out as I believe is intended. H1 bulb and harness to the Helux ballast to the HD relay. I thought the H1 harness from the Morimoto builds would plug into the OEM 9006 headlight harness. The close up shows that those two harnesses are not compatible, so I'm not sure what the H1 harness needs to plug into. Additionally, the third pic shows the remaining single female connection from the relay harness. I don't know how the single female harness hooks into the LX power system?
