I have some simple questions for those that have hids. Could you show me some pics of your installation or at least tell me where you put your ballasts, ignitors etc so i could install it faster. Thanks guys i really appreciate it.

For the passenger side I put the ballast up against the wall next to the ABS and igniter bolted on with the fuse box. . . for the driver side I put the ballast under my intake and the igniter bolted on with the fuse box. . . Since you have the stock air box you might need to jsut look around. . . Remember this do not let the ballast touch any metal parts or else the HID will stay on everytime you turn on the car and that will just make it blow even quicker. . . You also need to disable to DRL ( Daytime Running Lights). . . To disable it you can unplug the grey plug on the top passenger side of the engine bay. . . Than when you drive at night you will fall in love with how good the HID look :D

^^^eeeeeeexactly^^^

just be sure to check on them every now and then to be sure they are still secure and aren't touching metal since they might be jostled around a bit...

Tried that and it didn't work for me.......
But i found the relay for it near the battery.
Disconnect that and the DRL's won't shine no more.
Disconnectin' the relay works too.

I was able to find a real good location for mine, so i took Pics

The passenger side is above the fog light and below the headlight

The driver side is also below the headlight, but you'll have to remove the battery to install it
