you don't install any of those, because you shouldn't buy any of those! hid is not simply a light bulb replacement. don't expect anything but stock light output from those light bulbs.

do a search for hid kits. expect to pay $300 or more.

you may want to try http://www.hidplanet.com or another site for more information on hid kits, retrofits, etc. etc.

Projectors involve the housing themselves, and really doesn't have anything to do with HID's. There are reflector housings and projector housings. You can find both halogen and HID systems in either.

Those are just HID look a like halogen bulbs that have the color of HID's but you usually can't see **** with them and the ones you can see with are still not as good as HID's. That being said if you just want the look of HID I say go for some of those blue tinted bulbs if you go with a quality set you can see fine. I wouldn't go with higher wattage than stock though because you would then risk melting your housings and woudl melt your wiring unless you upgrade it.

I wish my HID's were that cheap. I did a retro fit from a TL and I love mine. I will probably do a projector retrofit sooner than later and that will make my cut off a lot better.
