Is there anything to look out for when disconnecting my battery when I install my HID foglights? I've heard horror stories about disconnecting the battery on this car... will I have any issues?

I wasn't aware you had to disconnect your battery to install HID fogs....most seem to do just fine without disconnecting the battery...
