yes there is 2 and they just turn half way then pop out. you have to pull them all the way out then you can pop the fender liner out. I was surprised mine did not break. I am not sure if we had pics but you can check the DIY Fog install i posted to see if there are pics of it?? I cant recall if that was in there.

^^okay so if you look at the last pic....the clip on the outside you put a flat head screwdriver in there and kind of pry it. it actually has a seat to go into the circle on the fender. I think if you pry one apart (give it some force/mine did not break) you will see what I mean...assuming this is what you are asking about? I still think it will be easier to take the 2 bolts off. You can do this by turning the wheel in both directions so you dont need to take them off...the liner is pretty flexible. try it and let me know!

So the clip is very flexible? So I open the fender liner, i dont know what to connect all the wires to. I have all these connectors so confusing!

^^is it the wire harness with relay?
If so they are the same. One side will connect to the OEM plug (having 2 plugs). one side the wire is much longer and that is for the drivers side. the other OEM connector you just tape it off as its not used. post pics and I will help you out.

so this is the wire harness I had with my kit...
you will see that 2 conncetors are for the HID ballasts, 1 is for the OEM connector (dont think it matters what side you use) to turn them on/off with the OEM switch. the rest is just the negative and positive...
hope that is of more help

I have a question. My hid kit is way different than mobilehid.
Even the plugs looks different.
What do I connect this to?
Is this right?
Here is the picture of my 1 coat black calipers.

I had the xentec kit before. You do have the connector plugged to the ballast correctly. Those wires are what plugs into the female connector of the fogs and the plastic male piece is what converts it into a 9006 plug. On the fog wires, if I remember correctly, there's a green and black wire. The black wire from the ballast plugs into the green and red into the black. Turn it on to see if lights up, if not reverse the wires. When they do, take note which way the male plugs in correctly. Then push the red and black prongs into the plastic connector securely. Finally, just plug up all the connections and you should be good to go.

woot. ok thanks guys. I just installed both last night by myself.
The HID was actually pretty easy to install. Until my HID bulb can't turn into the socket. The bulb was horrible fitment. It was also a ***** to take apart the bottom of the fender liner. I accidentally ripped like half inch of it because I thought it just stuck inside the fender liner until I found out it has a clip under there.
Is it safe to put the ballast on the bumper? I just couldnt reach in any deeper. I just 3m taped it onto the bumper.

Here is the quick picture of my HID fog + painted brake caliper. Just noticed that I messed up painting my brake caliper. It looks uneven. (pictures don't really show)
My hid looks green? is this normal? 3000k looks green?
