okay i just installed mine and its really not hard.

you need:
quickconnects
a lighter or heatgun
electrical tape
crimper or pliers

1. unbox and connect CCFL to inverters and heat shrink
2. go to radio shack (or other electronics store) and buy the RED quickconnects. they are color coded and red is the smallest size
3. remove stock headlights from car
4. remove headlight harness and water seals from other headlights and apply to CCFL headlights
5. use quickconnects to connect lights how you want them. i wired the LEDs to the turn signals and the CCFLs to the running lights.
6. test lights and make sure everything works.
7. mount inverter somewhere where water cant get in. the headlights arent completely waterproof so put them behind the wheel well in the engine bay. i suggest wrapping them in tape or plastic to keep water off. (i got a carwash the first day after having them and the inverter died. im waiting for them to send me new ones).
8. slide CCFL headlights into place and replace bracket. the bracket will be hard to put in the first few times so dont be afraid to use some force.
9. start car and retest all lights to make sure everything is good.
10. drive around and showoff your new CCFL halos.
11. throw away the instructions that came with cuz theyre f*ckin useless

good luck with the install. DONT FORGET TO POST PICS!!!

Whatever you do for the love of god don't use quick connects! Do it correctly and solder it (don't forget shrink tubing). Using quick connects may be as simple as strip and crimp. But they can come lose and they are unreliable. I was using the quick connects on my old aftermarket projectors. Then I had someone back into the front of my grand prix so I got new spyder auto ccfl (black housing) so much better. They don't leak water or anything! Long story short...my old projectors (with quick connects) were always coming loose, I literally had to babysit my halo projector connections. Just soldered my new lights in today (took 4 hours cause I took my time to make sure its done the best I could). But I'm happy I won't need to babysit these new lights :-D
