HIDs are super easy to install
1 Take out old bulbs
2 put in new ones
3 mount the ballast, somewhere relatively close to the headlight
4 plug all the S*** together, it only fits one way
5 enjoy
Let me know if you got any other questions :P

what ever kit you get ensure you buy a Relay and a CanBus Fix. I recommend going with what XenonDepot has got, because their kits are legendary. I havent had a problem with me and it works 100% That and the fact they ship it next day, so by the time you hang up the phone and turn around, the guy in the Brown uniform is at your door. lol and surprisingly not asking for duties



XenonDepot ships from within Canada

probably not, That's probably just the Bulbs and Ballast. If you go that option you'll have to leave your lights on all of the time or else they will flicker. Which also kills the bulb life

Yo AJ! Is it possible for me to get HID fogs, and not run them all the time?

For 100 bucks its possible it might. but its likely not to come with those fixes, or perhaps just one of the 2. I tested out a few different possibilities of running with just one of the two, and ran into problems. With just the CanBus fix you will likely get rid of the flickering, but you may find that if your bulbs might not ignite on start up. With just the Relay, you will still encounter the flickering when its in any position except the on position.

XenonDepot has promised the club to ship HID kits with Relays and CanBus fix kits. Generally with HID kits it all comes down to how long are they going to last... Cause when you have a blow out of a bulb it sucks. Cause one bulb will end up being a different color than the other if you get a replacement. Hense why you should really replace in twos. That said Bulbs are super expensive.

I personally rather go for a kit that is going to last longer than one that is cheaper. Not to say anything bad about companies that sell for less. But I am going just by the track record of XenonDepot and they have a pretty good quality level.

Saying as Freddy already Hacked all of your wiring it can just be wired differently. So the answer would be yes.
