Hello everyone, I just got my HID kit from DDM Tunning and I'm completely lost as how to get them in. I'm pretty sure it isn't that hard but this is my first time so if anyone with a good guide can get me through it that would be greatly appreciated..

Its pretty basic. The OEM harness plugs into the harness thats connected into the ballast. The ballast has a female connector that the OEM plugs into. Then the plugs out of the ballast plug into the headlight bulbs. They are usually 2 color coded small plugs. Its all plug and play. The hardest part of the job is mounting the ballasts. I ended up mounting mine in the grill.

What time do you get off of work? If you feel like driving down to my shop in Elkridge I'd help you do the install.

You want to mount the ballasts in a dry well ventilated location, if they get wet they can short out completely or just not work until they dry out. I mounted mind on the backside of the headlight/main support.

I get off at 4:30, but I'd have to stop home to get the kit. What time are you leaving the shop because I don't want to be of any inconvenience.

Sorry been a busy day at work and just finished up at work.
I'm hanging around until 7pm just so I don't have to deal with any traffic on my way home. I'll be tied up until Monday of next week, if you can hold out till next week sometime I can help you out.

I've done it already but I think I will come up Monday. Since you've done it before, you can see if I did anything wrong if that's cool. I have a pic coming as soon as I figure out how to put one on here again..

i mounted mine in the same place, but still layed a bead of silicone around the seams just in case.

Smart idea, I just used dielectric grease in the seam.
