Default HID Installation?

Okay, before I install my HIDs for lowbeam, how about highbeam and fog lights?
Will i have to have SIX freakin ballasts?

Sorry for being such a noob

From what I have seen of those kits the hardest thing is finding a place for the ballast, looks like just all basic wiring to me.

Is Hidextra a great brand?
Just find a good place for the ballast and plug it all together!
Simple.

Xentec HiDs seem to be a good "cheap" brand. i know alot of ppl who have them and havnt had any problems. if you have your owners manual it shows you step by step how to change you light bulb and all the stuff u needa remove to get to it. just do what it says and instead of a new bulb put in HIDs. plug and play. just when installing the HIDs make sure you dont touch the bulbs

Get a ddmtuning.com kit. Shipping may take a few weeks but they are great quality.

They have instructions, i'm sure you can figure it out. You have to start somewhere and continue to better yourself.

+1 for ddmtuning. I, for one, entirely loathe aftermarket HID's and want to slash the tires of every vehicle I see with them. but if you're gonna do them, get them from ddm. they sell their kits for like $25-35 each and have great quality, and a lifetime warranty to back it up.

Nah..not really a fan of projectors. IMO, they only fit well in luxery cars. Thats just my opinion.
Im not gonna spend like 600 on retrofits lol. Id rather save up for HFP coils.

But thanks for the help you guys
