the install wasn't so bad, I didn't have a jack and I used $15 screwdrivers from pep boys... it took me a couple of hours to figure everything out, but now it's pretty damn easy. the driver's side is a pain in the *** b/c the amount of space between the bulb and water tank is like a grand 4inches, so it's a tight squeeze to get stuff there. the passenger side is cake.

I just put the ballast and igniter in the bumper (double sided tape and zip ties).

Here's mine in my signature, if you do a search I uploaded a bunch of pics with the headlight & foglight 2500K Yeloow H.I.D.'s a while back, there was a whole thread about it.
