Default Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!

I just got done installing my HID kit. I see what you guys mean about having small hands...However using a pair of 90 degrees needle nose pliers, I managed to get those springs off and on in no time at all. I also went a different route and used the supplied wire grommets, I just cut a nice round hole in the original rubber plugs.
The only problem I ran into was that the original bulb broke off at the socket and fell inside the housing when I was taken it out. So I had to take out the right side headlamp to shake the bulb out of there. Taking out the headlight does make it easier to deal with the spring but I wouldn't recommend it as an alternative. Getting the headlight out and back in is a tedious job in itself.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the kit and would highly recommend it at the price. The one thing I would suggest if you're going to install it yourself is to get a tube of dielectric grease since none is supplied with the kit. I used a tab on all accessible connectors. I also wrapped the original headlight connector with electrical tape up to the sleeve that covers the red and black wires. Also for those that do not have a test light or a volt meter. The red wire from the kit connects to the single black wire in the original headlight connector, The black from the kit connects to the double black wire in the original headlight connector.

I can't wait until it get dark to test them out.
