No Sir, only the left hand side on the V6 is kinda a pain in the ass! :)  other than that you should be fine. I went Volt Extreme, i never got a Bulb Warning light, but I hear every cars a little different. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm not a PRO by any means, but i did 2 of these on my low's and my fogs, next is my highs but i may leave those alone since i really never use those.

I have lows and fogs.  No issues, no wiring harnesses.  My only issue is the damn DRL, which I avoid by just leaving lights set ON, and then the battery protection system shuts it all down after 8-10 min.  Bought from VVME for $50 a set shipped...

Harness and relay (normally) takes direct power from battery rather than lighting system.  Uses relay to ON//OFF from the signal sent from headlight switch.  very basic description.  I think the cap is needed when you have DRLs, but I could be wrong.
