yea, no pics, but take my word for it... If you're looking to do an HID upgrade, get the one from RS..

Default Can you please tell me what you did for the install???

I have been putting off buying this for 2 days now. I do not like the write-up for these that is in the tech section. There must be a better way than a flimsy piece of plastic cut to fit in the stock ballast opening.....

I'm already sold on the kit, I just need a cleaner install than the posted DIY

Default Did you do anything to prevent the wiring harness from overheating?

I have heard of cases where the wiring harness will overheat and melt.
