There is alot of kits where you shouldnt have to cut any wires at all, the kit I got from ebay was plug and play.. the only thing to do was mount the ballaster for each light, Just find out your light size and do a search and see what comes up....

Don't do it!!

Not that it probably matters but true HID lights are offensive, blinding, and should be outlawed. Everyone you drive towards or behind doesn't say wow those are cool lights, they say sh*t some jerk has super bright lights that give me a headache. But of course it's a free Country. I am always tempted to carry my 1MM power portable light and shine it in the face of people with blinding headlights. Unforunately I'd get a ticket for that.

When in the proper reflectors, HID lights are no more blinding than the 12v non-halogen headlights on my old Vega were back in the day. The keyphrase here is "proper reflector". Any other reflector (such as what your vehicle comes with when used with normal halogen light bulbs), and HID lights are illegal, plain and simple.
