hids

just put hids in wit my dad. hes ase cert. mechanic. i did not take my bumper off. the driver side is easy. just take out the battery and radiator overfill bottle and u have plenty of room to swap the bulbs and mount a ballast. the pass sde is harder. because of the ABS unit with all its hardlines coming out of it, its a tight fit. i reccomend getting someone with small hands and wristsfor this. you have to remove the windsheild washer bottle. just carefully pull off the 1 plastic clip holding it in. then the top portion of it will sep. from the lower and this will beleive it or not create enugh room tochange the bulb on the pass side. i had a hard time with the power connector for te bulbs. make sre you push the connectors in hard. i almost thought i had a bad set of bulbs before i realized that was the prob.
