Anyone local that can install HiD kit?
Want someone to do a clean install on my car with an HiD kit i just got. Anyone know anybody or a shop that can do it? Obviously if you know someone i will pay them to do this and if they do a super clean job i'll buy lunch as well lol.

What kit did you get?
I could do the install if I can find the drill bit I used.
IDK how clean I can make it though.
The install really isn't that hard. Same process as replacing the bulbs you just have to also drill a hole.
I used a DDM Tuning and kit. Here's some pics of how I installed my HIDs.
Hole through the access cap with wires and grommet in it.
Wires routed along the top of the fender.
Ballast zip tied to the fender to keep it in place.
I know it's not the greatest install. But it gets the job done.

Not a difficult install at all. You can do most HID kits in about 20mins. If you want to position the ballasts where they're not as exposed, it might take a lil longer. Just depends on how clean of an install you want.

Cleanest place to mount the Ballasts is below the headlights. On my 09, I took the DRL module out and mounted a ballast there and mounted the other one next to the windshield washer reservoir. You should be able to get to these without taking off the bumper, but I took mine off so I could run my wires cleanly.
