      It's all plug and play if you ordered the correct kit.

      Unplug the stock bulb and remove it, insert the HID bulb in its place and secure it back in place exactly like the stock bulb was.

      2 wires come out of the bulb you connect to the ballast, the way the connectors are made you can't get it wrong.

      The other wire also plugs into the ballast and the other end plugs into the factory bulb harness.

      Thats it!

      give them their own ground, i ran into issues trying to "share" factory grounds when i aded my fog lights.

      i say use the rail, or the inner wheel well on each side, with a 10mm course thread body bolt.

      Do these kits cause glare for the other drivers? I have a head light out right now and was thinking about upgrading to these but don't want to cause problems.

      Any HID kit will cause glare to other drivers..........if you want more light get some better/upgraded (PIAA/Silverstars, etc) halogen bulbs or do a retrofit with HID projectors here some info: HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum .
