I got mine 3M'taped to the headlight housing with a ziptie for support as well, It was the cleanest option for me. Shall take a pic later to show...

Interested in how you ziptied it to the housing.... post up those pics when you get them.

PS. DDMTUNNING has a complete page of guides on how to install all types of HID bulbs, along with harnesses etc.

If new-commers can't even as much as click the link and open a pdf file then god may help them.

thanks levin! s**t, i cant believe i paid $40 to install HIDs.......ahh noob days 3 years ago:(

Not a problem, when i got mine installed last year i wasnt 100% sure at first either. Just took 1minute and looked at the pdf on ddmtunning though and it was clear as crystal. Only part that took time in the install was thinking "where am i sticking the ballasts"...

dude, i can't believe people still pay to get their HID's installed. my friend went to a shop and they quoted him $45. it took me 5 minutes...which included taking the bumper off and hiding the ballasts

Just got my DDM tuning HIDs...installed them in 10 minutes WITHOUT the directions it came with...and without consulting anything posted here lol

For those noobs...yes. It is that easy. I just proved it was a very easy walk in the park :sleeping:

My factory ones are bolted under the headlights behind the front bumper, Just in front of the washer fluid filler neck in 001Stunner's second pic ^^ there, and the same place on the opposite side. The Wires come up through the hole and straight into the headlamps, one question I have is though...... I have parking lamp bulbs in the housing above the HID's and they taint the beam colour with yellow light. Can you guys suggest a replacement bulb that is more white??
I'm also contemplating changing out the H1 High Beams with similar "white" bulbs and would like something close to the HID so help with that would be tops also.
