Thanks guys..

A thorough forum left me thoroughly confused. I had to break down and ask for a "no splicing" HID kit. A link would be terrific..

There is no "plug and play" HID kit except for the factory lintronics kit which will set you back 2k. All the aftermarket kits either require you to splice your existing wiring, or modify the factory connectors with male/female bullet connectors. There is also a chance you may need to use a dremel or rat tail file to enlarge the headlight opening in order to insert the HID bulb...not a big deal really and seems more daunting than it really is.

I modified the bullet connectors (allows you to swap in the standard factory lightbulb if the HID bulb, ballast or ignitor goes bad) and used the slim ballasts mounted inside the headlight housing (it let's you keep the ability to slide out the entire headlight w/o disconnecting wires). It took me about 30 minutes including filing the housing but for a first timer it really is no more than a 60-90 minute project.

What David said - you'll have to splice but it's really not complicated. If you really don't want to do it, buy a six-pack for a buddy and have him do it while you pretend to help!
