RE: HID
Its a pretty damn easy install. I used a relay, and hooked the power up to the battery. The relay is connected to the stock headlight circuit so it switches the relay on and off. Then you just mount the ballast, somewhere hidden so they can't be stolen easily. Put the new bulbs in and plug them into the ballast. Should only take you an hour.
BTW Don't get 6000k they are just plain white, your going to want 8000k as thats the most common aftermarket color. BMWs and such come with 6000k but only look blue from far b/c of the projection headlights. Also most cheaper projection headlights don't support HIDs b/c of the heat. I think HIDs look much better in a normal flood headlight, then a projection. The color fills up the whole headlight, looking delicious. Here are some pics of my 8000k.
Don't make the same mistake my friend did, he got 6000k and regretted it. Unless you have seen them both in real life and you like the 6000k better, go with 8000k
