Default HID foglight installation help!!

So I just recently bought a HID kit for my foglights, but I can't find a DIY for installing it myself. Can anyone link me to a previous thread or tell me how to do it? Thanks!

-1 @ ^

I went through the well, too me 25 mins TOTAL for both sides. 1 year later, I still have No problem.

If you REALLY want alot of room, put the front of the car on jackstands, remove the wheels, remove the front portion of the wheel wells. Taking the bumper off is ludicrous.

Actually taking the front bumper off is very easy. Takes about 10 min to do and you can do a much better install and run a relay system.

^^ not really, just mount it from the bottom first. And honestly, how many of those dumb bolts do you REALLY need holding on your bumper underneath hahaha XD
