H.I.D. instructions

hey guys, I'm planning on doing a HID conversion soon. I know I can as VXCL for the bulbs, ballasts, projesctor, and trim. are there any instructins on the install? I know it's freakin expensive to send them out, and I'm not sure if I want to spend $1000 for headlights. Or is there a way to get HIDs without cutting up my housung? I'm definatelty willing to pay the $300 or so for the parts, but if it's gonna take me close to a grand, I can't do it. too broke.


thanks in advance.

I would, cuz I know they are good quality, but he's ready to sell now and I'm not ready to buy yet. just want to do some reaserch on install and whatnot. I'm doing searches but can't find instructions. just info on how other peeps looks/ what kind they have.

I was moving in that direction, but then I read you'll need a relay to keep it from messing other things up, and so the alarm doesn't blown them.
will you have to take that reflector hexagon thing out so it doesn't get too bright?

man just get the parts from VXCL and do a custom install.. think about it this way you will be the only cl with your setup if you made it custom.. thats what i did..

and the hardest part about the install was using the dremel to cut the reflector and positioning it correctly( in my cae i rushed the first time to go to the ATL meet).

just PM me i think i have some pics from my setup--- and the install
