it all depends what kind you got … care to send a link ? sometimes you have to splice into headlight harness or grounds or power sources … as well as pluging into a factory headlight housing but sometimes you have to secure them differently using a clip or something that comes with the kit ---

If you use those ballasts, you’ll need a pair of bulbs (I strongly recommend Philips) and the OEM HID lense assemblies from whatever vehicle you can get it from. In my GTR I retrofitted a Lexus RX330 HID system, complete with OEM ballasts, bulbs and lenses. The ballasts plugged into my stock harness after i clamped on a couple spade connectors, and are fully functional just as your normal stock headlights do. ---

the easiest way for me to get my HID’s was to go to shawleys, and help him out for the day. by 8:00 i magically had HID’s! I highly reccomend it (PS sam, go for the wheels first) ---

> [@qualthar](#): > > If you use those ballasts, you’ll need a pair of bulbs (I strongly recommend Philips) Where would you order a set of “Phillips” bulbs from? I went to that one shop southside on cargary trail north? he basically laughed and said, they’ll cost you $600 ea. it’s easier to buy a complete kit for $450.
