Install is easy. Plug and play. It's a single HID bulb with a moving refractor that shifts the light up for the high beam. The typical H4 HID kit lacks this refractor, so you end up losing the high beam. Once you go HID, regular Halogen is completely inadequate.

Any aftermarket HID kit that does not have a self-leveling feature built in (to compensate for varying vehicle loads) is illegal in most states. Be careful unless you have lots of $$$ for tickets (depending on how much the local police enforce the laws).
I don't understand the desire for these mods. I recently had a Nissan Maxima as a rental with Bi-xenon/HID lights. And, I can tell you that the stock headlights in my Ridge were far better that those in the Maxima. As the Maxima did a great job of illuminating the side of the road and not much on the vehicle path. However, neither the Ridge or the Maxima is/was as good as the ones on my traded in BMW. Just my $0.02.
