What do you need help with?
What kit do you have? it should be very simple if you know how to hook up two wires to a battery, change the bulbs(careful- $130bucks each) and plug them into the old headlight terminal plugs.
PM me if you have any further questions.

If you have a wire harness that connects your ballasts directly to your battery with a relay wired in between that is triggered by the OEM headlight plug, here are some easy instructions:
Step 1) SWAP BULBS - Unplug the factory headlight plugs, remove the stock halogen bulbs and place the new HID bulbs into the headlight housings.Our HID conversion kits are simple and easy to install.
Step 2) MOUNT BALLASTS - Use the ballast brackets under the tray in the HID box to mount your ballasts near your headlights.
Step 3) LAY OUT WIRE HARNESS - Lay out your wire harness around the engine bay.
Step 4) CONNECT THE 5 PLUGS ON THE WIRE HARNESS.
1) Long ballast plug to the ballast on the opposite side of the battery.
2) Short ballast plug to the ballast on the side of the battery.
3) Power wire to the (+) terminal on your battery.
4) Ground wire to the (-) terminal on your battery. (Do not ground elsewhere)
5) Plug the OEM bulb plug on the harness into the factory headlight plug. The other OEM plug is not used.

Is it a good idea to cover this up. Just in case dirt or water wants to creep inside? Or in case someone wants to revert back to a stock set-up?

lxmn - it's probably a good idea to cover it up with some electrical tape or something else. good point. Also though, you can use that power plug to power something else if you really want to get crazy- perhaps some LEDs behind the front grill? 
ewingli - i doubt you'll need to remove your headlight to replace the bulb. i think you should be able to swap the bulbs out fairly easily.
good luck man. i've never done an install on an SC so i really can't be more specific.
