i'm mechanically dyslexic and i managed mate. the hardest bit is drilling the black plastic covers and even that is a piece of piss, surely if you cant manage then someone on here will do it for nowt mate, if i wasn't so far away i would do it for you no probs. in total its probably a half hour job. don't go to a garage, they'll charge about 80 quid or something stupid.

Honestly mate it is SOOOOO easy! you dont need a walkthrough. Please dont pay someone to do a job as easy as this. If you can change one of your headlight bulbs then you CAN fit the HID's;)

Ive got angel eyes and just bought a 6000k HID kit, ive just been out and pluged them in to see what they are like, iam well impressed!!!! it took less than 1 minute to plug in, all thats left to do is take the lights out and make the holes slightly bigger for the HID bulbs to fit.

what do you mean slightly bigger Paul? Is a big job or just a few mm and how you planning on doing it? I like the look of the angel eyes and just want to know how to fit the HID kit if i decide to buy them. Cheers
But Spudisdabest as everyone else is saying ive got 6000k set on my standard lights and so so simple to fit.
Each wire will only plug into one port so cant go wrong. Just check the fuses if one doesnt come on when testing as the HID kit draws more current for a few seconds then normal bulbs when u turn them on.
Never want to drive a car with standard bulbs now and for £40 well well worth it.

You normally just need a hole cutter - 25mm for standard lights but am not sure about angel eye fitments.

Surrey darling...
Is 6000K quite blue or does it look about the same as OEM HID's... I want to get some but really don't want it to look too blue like some of the after market kits you see!

6000K is more white with a small hint of blue, 8000k is the bluer one.
Search for a light chart to show the differences.

I got the 6000k hids and when using them in a projector light they are blue but in a normal set of lights they just have a tint of blue.

That's because in normal HID OEM use, the HID lights are 4300K - it's the projector lenses that give the blue tint. In normal reflector lenses, you use a 6000K bulb to give the same look that 4300K gives in projectors. 6000K in projectors will give off a white light but with a stronger hint of purple around the edges.
