I like them too...where did you get them? How much? How did you proceed to the installation? Yourself? By the wheel or bumper removed?thx

Yah man, me and a buddy did the installation in my garage...we removed the bumper because I didn't have a jack or jack stands...plus I was glad I removed the bumper, theres so much room to work with and the installation is much cleaner...so I suggest going that route....

I bought the kit from Xenondepot. Its their Xtremehid kit, 4300K. If you got anymore questions let me know!

Naw man, no need, I just had on a ****ty jacket cause it was disgustingly cold in there, but you just pop out all the clips on the top underneath the hood, unscrew the ones on the sides at the bottom, unclip all the clips underneath in the middle of the bumper next to the screws and then you will have to carefully pop out the wheel well liner by gently prying it out and unscrew the screws that are holding the bumper to the body, 1 on each side....look up the HOW-TOs section and there's a write up there with pictures.

On a side note, once the bumper is off, if you look at the chassis (the black part) that has the foam part attached to it....infront of the radiator...you will notice two holes....it's kinda hard to explain but I didn't take any pics (was too cold and lazy to!) but hopefully you'll find it but I fixed my ballasts to that with double sided tape and 2 zip ties (no need to drill like other people who went through the wheel well)...it was the perfect spot! And also when looking for a ground for your passenger side relay, if you look in the same area as the ballast, but directly underneath the headlight housing, you will notice some bolts attached to the chassis, I used one of those to ground since my ground wire did not reach the battery negative terminal. Conversely on the driver's side I used the negative battery terminal for the ground on that relay. After I wired everything I tested the lights and made sure all my connections were secure and tight, and I zip tied all the wires nicely in each corners of the car and PRESTO clean factory looking install!

Goodluck buddy!
