RE: Finished my HID's

The whole thing took me about a week to finish... the hardest part of everything is figuring out how to mount the projectors, ballasts and ignitors. Basically the whole job in a nut shell consists of taking your headlight apart, mounting the projector, making a wiring harness for the new electrical parts, mounting the electricals, and putting everything back together again. I would definatly check out http://hidplanet.com/forumsif your thinking about doing a similar project. There's tons of write-ups and other helpful information on there.
