How-To: Install BFxenon HID Headlights (non-RS)
How-To: Install BFxenon Bi-Xenon HID lights
When installing BFxenon HID lights, for your safety, please remember to remove the battery terminal / positive lead to the battery before connecting any high voltage parts.
Step 1: Remove factory lights from the factory housing
Step 2: Install HID bulb or Locking clip (on some applications) by lining up the channel locks, pushing it into the housing, and twisting.
Step 3: Run the wiring harness to both sides for measuring purpose
Step 4: Connect the female terminals on the harness to the ballast
Step 5: Connect the small trigger wire from the harness to the bulb and the positive and negative lead off the ballast to the bulb (see step 4 for picture)
Step 6: Connect the OEM female headlight connector to the OEM style connector on the harness
Step 7: Attach the ground wire and positive battery lead, re-attach the positive battery connection and turn everything on. This is just to ensure everything lights up properly before you secure the ballasts and wires.
Step 8: Secure the HID ballast within the range of the wiring harness. Some recommended location are; firewall, cold air intake housing (if metal), radiator mounting brace, front bumper brace, etc. (Some of these may not be the best option for every vehicle)
Step 9: Secure all the loose wiring away from any moving parts and out of the way of extreme heat.
Step 10: Enjoy your BFxenon HID headlights!

For anybody who is considering this upgrade, I'd encourage you to do some online searches for the legality of HID retrofits or HID upgrades.
Installing an HID bulb into a reflector that was designed for a halogen bulb creates blinding light for oncoming traffic which can be very dangerous. It's also illegal according to FVMSS 108 paragraph S7.5(b) which states:
S7.5 Replaceable bulb headlamp system. Each replaceable bulb
headlamp system shall be designed to conform to the following
requirements:
...(b) The photometrics as specified in subparagraphs (c) through (e)
of this paragraph (depicted in Figure 26), using any light source of the
Type intended for use in such system.
In other words, an HID bulb in a headlight that was designed for halogen is illegal.
