So easy, it will make your head spin...

Out of the HID Ballast there are two wires....conect these to the two wires going to your 9006 bulb....done!

BTW, I have a set of HID headlights with Clear turn signals and HID bulbs/ballasts if your interested.

Ummm...

How did you get in and out of your car? Looks kind of cramped where you parked...

if you don't have auto-leveling to begin with, forget it. to isntall it it's going to cost a lot coz' it involves sensors on all four wheels....

why bother with autoleveling that much though?
