Frank, if you wanted HID's and you want brighter headlamps, just get an HID kit, regardless if you get the silverstars or the HID kit, you have to do that SAME THING to change them.

Step 1: Get the product
Step 2: removed the plastic splashguard from the inside of the wheel well, They require a phillips head screw driver, you only have to remove the toward half.
Step 3: Locate the correct bulb on the headlamp. And push the clip so it swings away from the bulb.
Step 4: remove the bulb
Step 5: unplug said bulb
Step 6: Take HID Ballast and plug the leads into the factory plug and i'd say shrink wrap or electrical tape over it to keep it water proof AFTER you make sure it works.

(There IS a small space ABOVE the headlight over either body work or chassis, eitherway it is big enough that you can tape/ziptie the balast in that area to keep it from bouncing around or moving.)

Step 7: Plug HID Lamp into Ballast's plug.
Step 9: Turn headlamps on make sure bulb illuminates!
Step 10: If no illumination, switch the leads in the factory plug.
Step 11: put bulb in headlamp assembly
Step 12: Put plastic splash guard back on!
Step 13: Repeat for otherside
Step 26: Enjoy your HIDs!
