Factory for sure. I just did it and it isn't bad at all. Pretty much plug and play. There are plenty of instructions on this site to help. I used these and they were quite helpful. You should be able to do without removing the bumper and just having to remove interior trim to get to the bracket next to the battery.

OEM!
I got the Modulite kit and saw all the wire cutting involved, went and ordered the OEM kit. Plug & play! Almost 11 yrs and over 180k miles, the entire harness in my X has yet to have a wire cut.

i think i got my answer, thanks guys!
Now onto the next question, will the kit come with all different connectors - 4pin, 7pin, etc... or will i have to buy them all separately?

If kit has all of what the one on ECS's site has, then you're good. Plugs into vehicle connectors. No additional ones needed.
