If you have a complete HID kit with ballasts and proper sized bulbs it's a straight-forward job. Just find a secure place to mount the ballasts, put the new bulbs in the housing (don't touch the glass! It might be a good idea to wear gloves to keep the oil off your fingers off the bulbs) and plug the connectors off the HIDs to your stock ones (might have to be slightly modded to fit, but on mine I just cut some of the plastic off so it would plug all the way in).

Pretty simple and you shouldn't worry about messing with any fuses or wiring from your electrical system.

i just installed my xenon kit an OSRAM XENARC conversion kit it was an easy job with a direct fit no cutting or missing with the wiring it took about 15 minutes to install it nut there are 2 strange issues facing me now
first:
the high beam light indicator inside the cars instrument cluster is not working now when using high beam
second:
the lights shake a little bit when using the high beam on the highway only when using high beam

can you clarify those two issues please

Does your car have a seperate high beam from a low beam? The USDM ones like mine do but I'm not quite sure about some of the others.

If it only uses one bulb for both high beam and low beam, you'll need a hi/low HID kit.

As for the shaking, maybe your bulbs might not being fitted securely, if it's really severe, but otherwise that's pretty normal because of how much further HID's project out and how they're focused.

thanks for your answer and my car is fitted with the low and high beam in a single bulb the xenon kit only uses one of the bulbs connector from the car wiring and leaves the other unused when i put back my bulb in the left connector the high beam dash indicator glow again in the car so i think i will keep it but i need a better idea so as not to use the bulb cause generates heat

I wouldn't worry too much about the heat. I have 55w 3000k high beams on mine and it doesn't seem to affect the housing. However, it doesn't like being flickered on and off, but that's a seperate issue.

Well that's pretty much it, shouldn't be anything a low/high beam kit won't fix. Or just leave it the way it is if it doesn't bother you haha
