nothing special. HID kit and an HID relay kit (like 7 dollars on ebay) is all you need.

yeah tee thats all you need. you should consider getting a relay kit too tho, keeps high currents off your crappy stock headlight wiring.

Well i have DDM tuning HID and to be honest... they are not that great. I mean the high beams make no difference, and they really are not that powerful... better than stock. If i were to do it again, i would go retro solutions. Might as well do it right the first time... i just didn't want to spend 200 buck but now that i have my DDM and spent $115 dollars, the additional $85 bucks is nothing for better lights...

you sure about this? most HID kits are the same current as stock lights, sometimes less depending on the car
