I drew a crude diagram of this for another member and posted it

anything to help a brother out.
This was a true PITA to figure but I clearly remembered which position hand burned up when I was running Nokya bulbs!
The kit you have is produced by the same manufacturer as mine so it should work.
You'll love driving behind theese but don't expect for your headlights to look like an Audi's! That look is only achieved by projectors, but you will never go back to incandescent bulbs again. As for losing the high beams , I flash people with my fogs and get the same results I used to with my High beams....That is ....People in America have no clue what that means nor do they know what the left lane is for!

YES
You must change the fuses , there are two of them , because the initial draw of current to ignite the bulbs is higher than that needed to fire up the stock bulbs.

you'll be fine...
The drawing you see on that link is a direct result of my first wire swap mishap... the only thing that happened was that the lights didn't ignite.You will not fry theese ballasts if you mess up. Trust that diagram I drew and benefit from my trial and error!
Before you install make sure you have evrything you need.
3m double sided tape from parts store for automotive trim....for securing your ballasts and igniters.
Zip ties to keep everything neat.
Alcohol and cotton ***** to wipe down the areas you decide to mount your ballasts and igniters.
I mounted my drivers side ballast forward of the battery(remove battery and don't forget to write the serial numbers off of the ballasts first for your warranty card
unlike I did) and the igniter was mountedjust next to the headlight assembly towards the grill area.
Pasenger side ballast was mounted way up under the solenoid area so that I could put my airbox back in if I needed to and the igniter was mounted to the inside of the fender.
Theese were the spots I decided to use but be sure wherever you decide to stick those buggers is going to be ok for future mods , additions or removals because once 3m sticks its stuck!
Take your time , you'll realy like them. I've had them in for a year now , no Police problems no adjustment/ beam pattern issues.
