Headlight Instalation

To install the new head lights you will need:

-Screw driver
-Wire stripers
-electrical tape
-Wire conectors
-Wire harness(should come with HID's)

For the instalation its pretty simple, first you will want to take out the old head lights and assemblies. To do this will open the hood of your car up, their should be two screws holding them down on the top, you will unscrew the two screws. Next on each side their should be two tabs pull the tabs outward away from the headlight assembly, this should leave the headlight assembly free to move. Now un-hook the light fixture from the bulbs, to do this you will just turn them counter clock wise they should just unlock and, un-hook. Next pull the assembly and bulbs out of their resting place. Now time to remove the original wiring, this is the tricky part. You will locate their starting destination, un-hook the plug and remove the old wire harness. You now should have all stock lighting out, you can now take the new wire harness for the HID's and place them into the correct plug, then take the end of the harness and plug them into the ballests for the HID's. After this is done place all of the HID bulbs into the new headlight housing, plug the ballests into the bulb. This is very simple to do, now turn on your lights to make sure they work. Now just as a warning HID's have the tendency to night light up the second you turn your lights on, this is because the ballests have to juice up to power the bulbs. Do not worry they will turn on whether it will take a few seconds or minutes , they will work. HID's can be used as high beams, low beams, and also fog lghts. Many people prefer them for their bright white lighting which reaches a farther distance and illuminates more objects.
