New HID bulbs + me doing DIY = no-no-no...
So, I got new 6k HID bulbs for my IS350.
However, with my luck, I will most likely need new headlight assemblies after I even attempt to DIY.
Can anyone help me out? Perhaps at a meet sometime soon?

It's actually not too bad, passenger side is fast and easy, driver's side took me a while as I ended up removing the front bumper to hide the ballast. Do you have a separate harness for it or are you going to run straight from the stock lines?

Let me check my schedule. I think I'm booked this weekend already.
(However, if you ride, I think I can open up some time for that...
