Default Need Advice from Haknslash...TL Retro.

I'm getting ready to do my own TL Retrofit, but I only have one question regarding the wireharness part of the Retro...

How do I make the Bi-Xenon Solenoids work properly without blowing them... I read about this being a problem with the TL projectors due to possible heat or wiring issues.

Can you tell me if my wire diagram is correct regarding the Hi-Low operation of the solenoids, Or am I supposed to use another 1N4005 diode on the Highbeam source-wire before the solenoids?

i.e, Highbeam(+)------>|------(Driver/Passenger Solenoids)

I've heard people mention issues with their solenoids but out of all the ones I've used I've never witnessed them ever fail and I give them a full 12V signal. Our headlights probably don't trap as much heat inside as othewr smaller headlight so maybe that is why they are having issues with heat. Then again the Acura TL's headlight in itself is rather small so I really don't see how heat is or could be a factor seeing as how the engineers who make these things are aware of what temps each section of the projector makes so surely they would design around that factor. In any case I believe that solenoid can work with as little as 6V but I'm not completely sure. I'll have to check to verify.

That harness looks fine.
