Default HID Install

Okay, I got those HID's everyone recommended to me from DTM and they are supposed to be
plug and play, but I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up...is there a DIY section on this? I got the harness as well. I did a search on HID and nothing came up???

19Accord97 has the same thing and had issues with the harness. You can plug and play them for now without the harness until you figure it out.

It's fairly straightforward for plug-n-play. The relays took a little thinking for me though, since I made my own harness.

I'm almost thinking of taking it to a shop to have them do it...what do you think? Here is the problem, they are headlights, if I screw something up, then I cannot drive the cars at night, that would not be good. But I rather figure it out myself, with the help of my fellow board members of course!
