Step 1: After disconnecting power to the two headlamps and after removing the bulb access covers of the low beam, high beam or both bulb access covers, drill a small hole in the

removed cover. The HID-Xenon bulb wire is passed through this hole for your headlamp upgrade. On the wire is a supplied adjustable tight rubber waterproof grommet to be fitted

into the hole. Next, the HID-Xenon bulb is fitted into the headlamp's base and locked into position via the factory locking device. No cutting of wiring is required on the




Step 2:Reinstall the access panel and close it.Secure the small ballast to a convenient location in the motorbay.


Step 3: Finally attach power to the headlamp in the normal manner and the upgrade is completed. Headlamp realignment is recommended but only required if you have removed the

headlamp during the upgrade which sometimes can be avoided (model and side dependant). It takes about 1-2hours to complete the installation. No special tools are required.

Normal handtools only.

That's an accurate estimate, it's probably more for people doing this for the first time.

I would recommend fitting a relay harness.
These hid ballast need ekstra power when firing up.
And you risk that only one side fire up.

Fit a relay directly to the battery and use the current from the car bulb harness to activate the relay (you can get a bulb out warning)
