You have to take off your bumper, and remove the headlight assembly. I replaced my halogens with hid's like two weeks ago. Very easy, it took like an hour for the whole install. Btw what brand and kelvin did you get?

Look here for info on how to take off the bumper:

The rest is super easy dude. Just remove the headlamp bezles, they're like 6 screws each. Dont forget the 2 on top. Then I mounted the balasts right above the oil coolers with zip-ties. There's plenty of room for the ignighters inside the engine bay. Oh yeah, make sure to lift the bumper from the bottom then upwards to get it off.
Hope that helps.
