Default HID Install 1st Gen

I finished installing my Bi-Xeon kit from HID Extra. The install was very easy but I did remove the passenger horn, the grill, R & L Headlights and surrounds along with the battery tray. I ran the relay harness through the radiator support along the radiator below the filler plate and back through the radiator support for the drivers side. The drivers side was very easy, I mounted the ballast to the inside of the fender on an existing hole and tie wrapped it securely. The passenger side was more difficult due to the battery mounting. I ended up installing the ballast below the battery tray at the flat section of the inner fender well and used the velcro strips to secure the ballast. I then connected everthing up, installed the battery tray and battery and gave it a test. All worked perfect. Then I put everthing back together. I also velcroed the relay on the harness to part of the radiator support just in front of the battery. The Bi-Xeon Kit comes with a relay harness. The headlights are Hella Conversion (DOT). I did not have to drill any holes or modify the car in any way..

Added after pics sorry no before and the ballast for the passenger side is below the battery tray. The HID Bi-Xeon bulbs have reflector housing so the light pattern is no different than with the halogen bulbs except a lot better. Mine are the 5000K.
