Gen6 Installing HID's ON GEN 6 SE V6

Hey guys, just got my white 08 se v6 recently and its been pretty good the only complaint i have is that the engine is a bit loud starting at 2k rpm and the shifting isn't real good at times but o well. I was thinking about getting the MTEC D1 hid kit but I looked at my headlight wiring today and realized that all the wires are all bundled together and I dont see where the connector for the headlight is..you know where the bulbs get power from..usually the connector is right there for most cars but for this one...all i see is bundled up wires going down under the car...so if anyone has some pics or guide to installing HID's that would be really helpful!!!

It really is as simple as it sounds.

If you do a search there will be so much information that you won't know what to do with yourself.

I think you should work on being a better consumer... thats a terrible consumer philosophy to have. "I'll take the guy's word for it" is the same way you get into a situation like the one dude that was complaining about the dealer lying to him.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

My V6 does seem to get louder as the RPM's go up. It's not too loud, you just know you have 268HP under the hood. The V6 is a good performer, a little noise is not a bad trade for performance.. the 268HP sure does make it
worth driving, it's pretty quick for a family sedan at a good price... don't call it "fast", that will cause V6 envy, and lots of remorse for other TN users!
