TDI - the headlight wiring on your car is set up for 9007 headlights, you need a 9007 harness.
And a relay setup is a must, the factory wiring is rather undersized for the startup current that hid's draw, good chance of smoking something otherwise.

I found this thread to be pretty helpful for picking out HID setups. I think 3bspec sells all the harnesses and stuff individually as well.
If you are going with Gen 1 or 3 Projectors, you will need H1 bulbs. (Gen 2 H7) I recommend vvme.com, cheap, fast, reliable. They are the warehouse, so i got three sets of HIDs for $160 CDN.
You shouldn't need a harness or relay, provided you don't care to have your HID lows flick off when you hit the highs. The car's wiring is already set up with a relay at 10 amps for EACH low, and EACH high bulb. If you are putting HIDs in your fogs, then you will need a relay for (at least) the one HID, because the car is only wired with a 15 amp provision to both fogs.
A standard HID ballast and bulb draw 9.5-10 amps for up to the first 30 seconds of load, then they drop to ~3 amps each. That's why you want a relay for fogs, but like i said, the car is wired for the low beams already. Believe me, i've had my 6000K H1s on the stock harness for just over two years now with no problems.
Any more HID/Projector questions to ask, i'd be glad to answer. PM me, but i will keep an eye on this thread too.
