it's too easy to do.... all you need to do is connect all the wires together and put the bulb in the projector... the hardest part is where to put the ballasts...

oh yeah, i forgot... you have to remove your bumper to remove the headlights to get to the low beam bulbs. so this is the hardest part.

Mounted to the frame rail. on driver side behind ACD pump and on passenger side on frame rail behind oil cooler. you will have to take bumper skin off, but that is easy. I drilled a couple small holes for mounting on each rail. primed the holes and painted too. then used some self tapping screws. let me see if i can find the pics from mine.

you have to drop the oil cooler out of the way to mount them, but otherwise its pretty easy. good luck.

Cleanest place to mount them is actually ON the headlamp (on the belly side like OEM fitment -there is even a nice spot meant for HID ballasts). This is how I installed my HID's on my RS.

luckily for me, i was able to use the stock ballasts and just change the bulbs !!...

you can let them dangle for now and find a spot later or zip tie it somewhere.
