How to Install HIDs
I just finished installing my 6000k Bi-Xenon H13 headlight kit I ordered from Third Gear Performance.
Tools used
8mm socket
10mm socket
1/2" socket
Phillips Screwdriver
Drill with whatever size bits you need.
Start by making sure all necessary parts are there.

Then remove both headlights and bulbs. Don't forget to disconnect the battery and Don't Touch The HID Bulbs!

For the Drivers side ballast, I mounted it against the support brace. This took the 1/2" socket.

Passenger side was mounted underneath the air intake tube. Used one of the the holes already there and drilled out the second one.

Drivers side was grounded to an existing bolt in the fenderwell above the washer fluid reservoir. I also mounted the module on the same bolt.
Passenger side was grounded to an existing ground also.

Make sure all wires are where they need to be. The drivers side stock headlight plug clips into the harness, I'm guessing for the bi-xenon. Check to make sure both bulbs work, the ballasts will make a buzzing/humming sound while the bulbs are warming up.

Install the bulbs inside the headlight housings and wire them up. I wrapped the connections in electrical tape just to make sure. Also wrapped the passenger side headlight connector to prevent water from shorting something out.

Finally, secure all wires and make sure they aren't near anything hot or against any moving parts. I wrapped mine with electrical tape and ran the passenger side underneath the radiator shroud, above the radiator.

Don't have a better camera, but here's the pics I got that night. Need to adjust the beams down a little bit. I didn't get flashed by anyone, but my high beams are Way up in the trees.
