lol, I installed HIDs on my coupe a while ago.
I had Bi-xenon 8000k, 8000K HID Highbeams, 8000K HID fogs, and single polarized 8000k city lights. it was crazy bright.

try???? just knock it out in 1 night! 
You will DEFINITELY need caps for the fog lights. The only hard part about doing the high beams is deciding where you want to put your ballasts.
Other than that, it helps to have small hands.

Placing the ballasts are always the hardest part of the whole HID kits

You have to remove the plastic shields underneath the car that is a part of the wheel wells. Look through the DIY on how to replace the fogs.

bi-xenon means that when you engage your high beams, the H7 halogen bulb comes on and also, the shield that creates the cutoff on the lowbeam projectors moves to allow more light upwards.
