you only need to remove the washer fluid bottle. The driver side is easier than the passenger because you don't have to remove the air box

yes remove the washer fluid bottle so you will have more space to work on it. Do you have 8K or 10K hids?

so that's all you guys did.. just work with the space that you have by taking off the water part off... do you mean the whole resivior? those are fuse boxes right around that area right? I didn't seems like i could move that around much. So i'm left with that little space.. i jus wanted an easier way out.

btw... it's 6k.. i think my camera can't put out the light color so it rounds up to the next color

Anyhow, I thought all IS's came w/HID's or is that just the 6000k bulbs with the oem ballast's?
