Default RE: HID installation question

hey sorry im too lazy to read the whole post but i hope this helps... this is my wiring for the headlights



and where it says light 1 and light 2 that goes to the bulb, the ballast, and the ground(mine are bi xenon.....the fogs are just plug and play no wires to a ground or to the battery....

here are where i mounted mine(all hidden when put back together)....

passenger side in front of the air box(the wire from the dirvers side is run underneath the grille delete piece)



drivers side, down udner the black radiater cover, there is an existing screw, and the nut supplied with the HIDs worked on it perfectly



fog lights, if you can make out the picture, is right behind the lights on the bumper, i just drilled holes up and used nuts and bolts



anymore questions let me know...i just did tis like a week ago...you'l love em what temps did you get btw?

my dad got HID fog's for his SRT-8 and we got a couple of sheet rock screws and drilled them to the fenderwell's and then we got some side cutters and trimmed the extra on the screws so it wouldnt hit the time and they have been on there for 22,000 miles havent had one problem with them

It all looked pretty simple, but I just wanted to make sure. I'm great with mechanical stuff (I've installed everything on my car myself, even the gears) but not as confident with electrical things. I'm probably going to install them tomorrow after work, it all looks pretty self explanitory. My kit is a plug and play, and I'm sure I'll be able to figure it all out.

Thanks for the help and the suggestions on where to mount the ballasts.

I got the 6000k kit for the headlights and foglights.

Thanks for the tip on the fog lights, I'll make sure I secure them in there.

It really is true that just about anything can be fixed with duct tape.
