What car are you planning on putting them in. Theres a guy on RDTiburon.com selling HIDs. I got mine for $286CAD Shipped to Toronto. Install took about 45 minutes in the dark and was extremely simple. Theres also a DIY available for Tiburons. I'm sure it would be the same for most cars though. I'll see if I can find the link.

my car is a 06 Elantra GT...
what I'm worried mostly is that I don't know how I can angle down the HID properly, and connecting all the wires properly so that my sub and amp won't be on fire and stuff. maybe I'm just being a chicken...
I'm just scared I might screw some thing up

If you're scared about doing it yourself, you can always check out local stereo shops. Its usually around $45 for an amp installation kit, and maybe another $40 for the labour.

A lot of people say to just do it yourself, but if you're nervous about doing it, then its probably best to either get it done by a shop, or find someone that will do it for you, but let you watch them.

The HID install is fairly straight forward. No wire cutting, just plug and play.

HID kit=easy.

The hardest part i had with running my sub wires, was drilling a hole in the firewall and running the wires through the interior. Other than that its insert wire A into slot B and so forth.

Dont go to a National Chain stereo shop... Like Car Toys. They will HOSE you. Smaller local shops are more knowledgble, nicer, and cheaper, but do more quality work in my expericence.

Definitely try to avoid Best Buy or Future Shop for installs. Local shops are more than likely your best bet.
