Help with HIDs!!!!

Alright guys I'm sort of in a jam, I bought 2 pairs of HIDs on ebay 1 is H4 size for our headlights and it has high and low beam HID and then the other set is H11 for our fog lights(both 10000k get pics when installed)...well I'm a DIY kinda guy and I'm not even gonna attempt to do it, its way to hard so I was wondering how much should I pay for each set to be installed or if there is a thread that shows the installation on OUR cars?

Thank you and happy new years

I just read my manual for information on changing my bulbs, changing over to HID is not much more than that, just finding a place to secure your balast

Actually it is with a hi/low kit with a new wiring harness. No instructions?

It is important to know that our system is reversed from the normal positive switching type. The positive is always on (even with the car off) and the ground is switched on either the high or low terminals.

Chances are, the harness they supplied may not work properly since we have switched ground headlights, basically, just hook up the harness, connect it to your ballasts, put the new bulbs in, and test it, if it's not working properly, you're gonna need a slightly different harness.

reopening thread!!

sup man! got question for you? would this set up work? i know you guys may not have fog but i think i found a way to keep fogs,drl,low and high beam with hid setup!!

"for canadian models...with fogs.. ...to keep drl,fogs,hid bi-xenon with high beam.. here it is u just need to cut 2 wires...headlight should have 3 wires, ground, low,and high. cut the low beam wire.. then cut the positive wire on the fogs..interconnect them (switch them 2 wire with each other)..therefore when the car is on ur fogs is running on 10v (drl). once the headlight switch is turned on that should activate fogs on 12v and ur hid ( which was interconnected w/ the fogs.which is actually the fog light. high beam is still ur high beam.....
so 2 wire interconnected...drl=fogs=lowbeam, fog switch =(hid)low, then high beam remain as is.....no relay needed may need to supply a lower amp for the fogs..coz its running amp from the headlight..and fog amp should be sufficient to run the hid bi xenon."

i know u mention that the headlight is running 2 ground and one power..which is kinna weird why the black on eis the power wire???
