Lightbulb HID installation on 08 WRX

Everyone,

I could use a bit of help installing an MTEC H11 HID kit on my Canadian 08 WRX. Or even installing any H11 kit on a car. I haven't had experience installing HIDs and I'm forced to set it up myself as my mechanic is on vacation and I'm cheap. Does anyone have any experience installing HIDs on the 08? or a Nice DIY for a H11 set?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

From the limited knowledge about HIDs I have, I think it is a plug and play system.

My only problem is that the HID kit did not come with a manual.

It shouldn't be that much of a hassle. Took me an hour to connect my HID kit. Could be that yours is a universal kit and needs splicing. Also - when you do succeed, let us all know how the light output and glare is compared to stock.
