Ok heres the general breakdown of the kit and I'll try as be as comprehensive as possible so anybody with even basic automotive knowledge can do this.
First heres the kit itself and how the wiring works, its a bit more confusing than most HID kits but the DDM kit makes it a piece of cake to install b/c of its quality construction and good design. Pardon the cheesy art but it helps explain how it works...
-The connectors circle in orange connect directly to the OEM plug inside the housing. the blue arrows indicate direction (going towards the actual bulb itself so you can follow the path).
- next is the green circled connectors which connect that portion to the ballast (again pretend you are electricity going towards the bulb).
- Next, the ballast and then soon after that the igniter (small black box).
- Next is the small black box (igniter) and then after that the slim ballast itself.
- after that are the connectors circled in yellow which actually connect the igniters to the actual bulb itself which then lights up the bulb.
so basically the wiring harness comes full circle back into the headlight housing and straight to the bulb.
step 1:
Cut a 1" hole in the housing in order for all the wires and everything to pass through. I chose the flat peice directly behind the lowbeam b/c it seemed like the most logical location to install it and also allowed for the most room. The quality of the grommet is car nicer than any other HID kit I have seen, I had an Xtec kit and it was a joke... ebay... forget about it. The grommet has 1.25" inner lip and 1.5" outer lip, the actual diameter being 1.0" so thats what I chose for my hole diameter and its perfect size for that square section of the housing cover
