Update: I finally got it done
I installed my ACA HID's and HID fogs yesterday. Thanks to jrprich, jdmvette and Patches for all of the posts, pics and advice. It made this mod a walk in the park. It took me most of the day and by the end I was tired. Somehow I decided to skip testing it 
and just put it all back together. Fired it up, hit the switch, to a blinding nothing. 
It was then the image of not connecting the factory low beam connectors appeared. 
I went out the next day and popped the covers and bezels, connected the two conectors and surprise, lights! DAYUM they bright! I do need to adjust them tomorrow.
I also bought a relay harness for my HID foglights on "the bay". It ended up being two feet too short.
I didn't have the material there to splice them so I didn't install it. It turns out I do need the harness so I will extend this one I guess.
I'd post pics but this dinosaur doesn't have a digital camera.
:o
Thanks again everyone.

Great to hear they worked 
ACAs are great lights, you will love them
Don't worry about an adjustment until you do a couple of nights driving....if you getting flashed them you need to find a blank wall to test against.
JDM suggests the cut off at 3' off the ground with the car 3' from the wall. I set mine a bit higher and then adjusted my fogs up as well. Not being flashed at all and the output is awesome

It's a little wierd seeing the blue/purple edges around the beam on things they shine on. I fully expected to get flashed but I didn't. Maybe most people are afraid to flash someone nowadays. I will adjust them all after I get the fog relay harness installed.

The ACA HID install worked from the start. 
The foglights were another story though. Not only did I need to extend the fog relay harness, I also noticed that the connector that goes to the OEM foglight connector was pinned out backwards. To make a VERY long sotry short, I finished up at 1:30 this morning. I tried the foglights and NADA! Then I remembered that the fuse needs to be 20 amp. I pulled the 10 amp fuse and it was blown. I installed a 20 amp fuse and they work! 
Now, I just need to align them. Thanks to all for the help.
...just curious.
Has anyone contacted nissangtrpower and told him his C5 Corvette HID foglight harness is a too short and wired wrong? I don't expect him to do anything for me but, future buyers would have a lot less hassle if the harness was the correct one.
