The easiest way to do it is give yourself a day off and do it the right way. I know one guy here installed the HID kit without removing the front tires and wheel well cover. I think he`s a plastic man!
Here is the right way.
Remove 1 wheel at a time, remove some screws (not sure how many?) that holds the wheel well cover. Remember some clips orientation attachments that hold the wheel well cover closer under the fender. Those are a bit tricky to put back. That is why do 1 wheel at at time, so you can compare those clips you removed vs. the untouched ones on the other side or the other wheel. Also, remember how that wheel well cover tucked in under the fender.
Once you removed everything and have access behind the headlight housing assembly, then remove(twist) that gray cap cover that seals the headlight assembly. Unplug the OEM harness connected to the stock bulb. I think there is a clip that hold the bulb in place. Make sure you wear a glove when installing the hid bulb to prevent oils from your skin getting into the bulb itself. This oil becomes a hotspot on the bulb when lit up causing premature bulb failure.
Those OEM wire harness can be rerouted, so you have some space or hole under the housing assembly where you can reroute the wires from HID (wires that connects to hid filament or bulb) . There is a trick to install the hid bulb or filament. You put the HID bulb using the BIG hole (where gray caps covers it) and the wires that connects to the bulb can be routed down from the holes or small space under the housing assembly, this way there is not much wire sticking out behind the bulb where you won`t be able to close that gray plastic cover that seals the housing assembly. Or another option is to drill a hole in that grey plastic cover and use that rubber boot DDM supplied to seal it.
The OEM headlight wiring harness that used to plug to the original bulb goes to the HID ballast connector. There is one more connector coming from the ballast, and that connects to the HID bulb connector. I think thats about it! it`s really a plug and play. I`ll take a picture of my HID KIT PLACEMENT today. I`ll post it here tonight. Although, you might not see much bec. the kit are all tucked in under the housing assembly.
The time killer for this installation is removing the tires and wheel well cover. I think it`s possible not to remove the wheel and just turn the steering to give more room behind the wheel well. Maybe just remove few clips and screws from the wheel well and kinda make some room or space just to gain access behind the headlight assembly, without having to remove the whole wheel well cover.
Here is the assembled HID kit (DDM electronic Slim ballast KIT 35W)
If you blew up a headlight fuse:
Pic Below: That black fuse box Iocated beside the battery close to the side fender. (larger one) You`ll find headlight fuse in there. The OEM fuse is tiny , but the connector is the same as the ones you`ll find at Autozone , Walmart etc.
Keep us posted on the installation.
