you didn't state clearly, just hid bulbs, or hid kit, if so, what type. need to be specific to determine where they go

You realize that your headlights are already HID? Unless you mean the highbeams/drl, in which case doing anything there would result in the loss of highbeams.

hey guys sorry i was in a little bit of a hurry. ok, i kno the headlights are d4s hid already. i just bought a set of d4s 8k to replace the old one's. i bought those from mcculloch (xenonking.com)
then the other 2 sets i bought is from khoality.com
the one's i bought from them are 9005 high beams and 9006 for the fogs. i installed the high beams today and it didnt turn on. so i went ahead and email the company i bought it from and asked them what do i do at this point. but the thing that i find a little complicated is how do i replace the headlight bulbs and do i need to take the bumper apart to install the fogs? or can i go through the tire well fender and install the fogs from there instead of taking the bumper off? thanks for all the help guys!

j.
