They say you don't need a harness for the 35w, but I have read several places saying you need one. So, please let me know if I actually need to buy one, or if I can get away with not using one. Thanks.
You don't need one unless your existing wires are compromised with obvious corrosion from road salt. The OEM system works great and has relays to carry the load properly.
I was actually looking at it, it is a very nice setup. 40 amp fuse for the headlights as well.
Are you getting this from DDM tuning or sharpHID? I got a 35w 8000k low beam and 55w 8000k high beam kit from sharpHID. They use slim DDM ballasts and Apexcone bulbs. They are awesome. I also have them hooked directly into the stock wiring, with no negative affects. None of the wires get hot even after driving with them on for lenghts of time.
