I found it a lot easier to remove the front bumper and the headlights while installing them. All the information on how to remove can be found in the FSM.

[Johniboi]

is it possible to do it with jus taking the headlights off?? cause im not trying to take the whole car apart, ill freak outt if i lose a piece or something lol

[CodeRed]

the bumper removal is actually simple. I think its like 8 10mm bolts on the bottom and one screw under the wheel well attached to the fender.

Most kits come with wiring adapters that let you plug your factory headlight plugs to the ballasts to supply power to the ballasts.

Bad late night ascii diagram:

Some kits come with a fused relay harness that allow you to feed power to the ballasts direct from your battery or alternator, but use your factory headlight wiring as relay on/off trigger. This is preferred. HIDs are only 35 watts, but the ballasts draw more current than halogen bulbs. They need a good, steady, supply of power. This method would place less strain on your factory headlight wiring.

Some even add a diode to prevent current surge and reversing... which could fry your car's circuitry.http://faqlight.carpassion.inf...n.gif

Jus to make sure, the bulb size i need for the hid kit is 9003 right?

HIDS in the stock headlights? That's not exactly the safest and most legal thing to do.

Go to your car, pull out the light bulb. What does it say on it?
