It's pretty straightforward. The hardest part is the bracket that holds the headlight housings in. I have some spare housings with the bulbs removed, if interested.

Default 4th gen HID install sealed beams too

After searching the forum and reading for a few hrs on similar issue I decided to create my own post since everything I have read is either a bit old or confusing for me. Anyhow I hope someone can help me.I have read a few members have had these issues about 2 years ago but I have a different car.I have a 09 328 and I just installed 2 HID kits one for the low beams and one for the fogs. Needless to say when I turn the car on and turn both lights on they work perfect no errors or nothing but after a while about 10 mins maybe I will get an error and the fogs will turn off, sometimes only one turns off if not both and when you attempt to turn them on and off they just flicker on and then back off. Then while riding I turn the low beams off to check if I can turn them back on and then those just flicker on and off but at most times I don’t have any problems with the low beams its just the fogs.I’ve seen how people put a harness and this seems to fix it. If so can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I just got a pair of headlights for my 96 at autozone and they are the sealed beams but you can take the bulb out and put it back in. It looks like they use the same bulb that in the 98+ Anyone else see this?

So are HIDs like brights or just standard driving lights?

This looks like a nice plug 'n play kit -- with no cutting or splicing:

I definately doing this when one of my bulbs needs replaced. $88 for the kit, vs, $110 for 2 of the stock style lights locally.

Love this forum all ready.

Looks like these guys have a quality kit at a reasonable price, and it is totally plug n' play:

$40 or $50 depending if you want 35 or 55 watt bulbs...

I think it is the same kit Speed Inc. sells, but cheaper and without the branding!
