They have 18,000+ positive feedback and 44 negative. That's a 0.24% chance you will be unhappy with the results. You're probably safe.

They're factory replacement, so the same thing that was in there from the factory.

I think the wiring they're talking about is from the headlight to the BCM (ie. what stays on the car when you take the headlight out.
