I need to know exactly how to install the phillips HID's. they say plug and play but is this true. So basically what they are saying is i unpluss my stock h1 bulb base,a nd plug into the new ballasts with the new hid bulbs on it and turn it on and go? Or so i have to cut wires and ssplice stuff. I know i have to put my old stock connectors back on ( i have eppsloids ) and splice those back. thats fine.. can anyone help me, im gonna by a pair but i really wanna know if it as easy as people say. Thanks guys

You have to install the headlight unit, plug the original plug into the supplied harness(this tells the lights when to turn on) and run the + side of the harness to the + side of the battery and the - side of the the harness to ground.

No, it is plug and play. You do not have to modify your cars wiring harness, it just plugs in. The wires you do have to run are just 2 wires for each side, and these are the wires of the supplied harness. One is for power, the other is for ground. It's all really simple. Wiring the setup is a 20 min job. Making the installation clean and professional looking is what takes time.
