Default Just ordered HID lights, Help,TIPS Installing?

About the install, Im very mechanicle but for some reason I hate Wireing! And I hate cluttered engine bays with wires and hoses going every were!
Is there any right ups on installing HID conversion kits or can anyone help me out?
My main questions are,1. were is the best place to tap into the wireing for power? 2. where is the best ground location? 3. were is the best place to hide the ballast?
Please post pics!
Got 6000K for both head and fogs!

Ok, you should wire these directly into your battery for power & ground via a relay.

So the 4 plugs on a relay, one for power (to battery), one for ground, one for signal (tapped from headlight wiring), and one for power (to ballast).

If you want to get real crazy with wiring, I had to remove my bumper and hide everything in spots no one could see if I lifted the hood...

Pix to come later if you want...
