Here's a run-through of how I installed it:

1) Jack up the car high enough so that there is enough room to take the clips off the fenderwall lining and push it back.
2) Remove the stock bulb.
3) Insert the HID bulb.
4) Connect all the wiring. (Note: With the Kaixen HID kit there is no cutting of wires, no wires that connect to the battery, ot any wires that ground it. It is a completely plug and play kit which makes the install very easy).
5) Mount the ballasts underneath the front fenders using industrial strength velcro for ease of removing it later if you wish too. And trust me, this stuff is very strong so there really is no chance of it falling off.
6) Zip tie some of the wires together to make it look more organized.
7) Put the clips back for the fenderwall lining and lower the car. You are done.
8) Turn on your HID's and admire how they look.

Plus, the Kaixen kits can be had for $300 shipped or less, so they are a great deal. They are high quality and come with a 1 year warranty, I definitely recommend them!

I hope this helps someone interested in HIDs for their civic.

if my bulbs would've twisted in or snapped in, i would've been done as fast. But i had to screw them in since the design was different even though it was the right bulb.
