New to the site. I put this kit on my bike about two months ago, the only tough part was getting the Amp connecter crimping tool to put the connectors together, luckily I "knew a guy" with one, as they are expensive.
Yes, you actually have to assemble the pins in the connector on this kit, and at least my eyes are what they used to be. I would say this kit isn't for the novice mechanic, but even an experienced weekender should be able to get it on. One last tip, if you run with your high beams on, make sure to switch it off "before" testing the aux lamps. I got a lot more experience at removing the faring than I needed.
