This is not a complete write up as I don't think one is necessary as so many people have written one up I think just the pictures is needed with a few comments.

It is not a complex install. Thanks to the kit. It really is plug and play. Thank you again Xenon Depot ( KB car stuff).

Pulling the car apart is the hardest part of this job.
Knowing how to pull the car apart with out damaging it is important.
So if you have a little mechanical knowledge, you will be able to do this job. If not ask a friend.
Again its not that hard.

I forewarned my wife that I will have to pull the new car apart.
I should have had a camera ready when she came out to look at the car. The look at her face was priceless.

Before

Body clips. Simple but be gentle.

Under body clips for the bumper and covers. There are lots of these ( about 30 or so) Some are longer so pay attention to these when you pull them out. The longer ones go where there are 2 or 3 pieces clip together.

I mounted the balasts here. One on the left, one on the right side.
Remember to put a cable tie around the balast when you mount it. I forgot. Hopefully the sticky stuff will hold it.

Headlight removed. You cant hide anything behind it...just remember there isnt much room. Some of the wiring can go here to keep it hidden but not a lot. If you put too much here , the light may not go back in place and if something is pushing up against it, over time the mounts may break.

Headlight fitted

Relay and ground. I hid these as best I could with out going crazy on it. PLaces are limited but looks nice regardless.

Left side balast mount. Now would have been a great time change the horrible horn.

Comparison between Halogen high beam and HID low beam.
It looks like its candle powered. Driving around is a pleasure but I can't help look at every ones elses lights and think how crap they look.
Do yourself a favor and get an HID kit.

I will eventually get a fog light kit when XENON DEPOT ( KB Car stuff) get them. HURRY!!
All up the install took us several hours. I have not touched a new car apart so the little clips were new to me and making sure everything was hidden and mounted safely was a priority. SO was not breaking or scratching anything.

We took plenty of time making sure nothing was going to rattle and everything looked pretty much factory.

The only picture I forgot to take was of the harness that I hid along the factory harness under the front radiator support.
The fuses were hidden under the middle just below the hood catch. You have to really look to see it.
I will post a few more tonight when the wife gets home with the car.

HUGE thanks to my mate Mike who helped with the install and also provided his garage to shield us from the nasty sun and also for the cold beer to aid us keep our cool.

Thank you to all the guys who give advise on HID installs (or anything) and to Steve from Xenon Depot for his help on HID's and for supplying a great kit at a great price.

If anyone needs more photos or has any questions please feel free to ask.
PRHTE.
