How do you install HID lights into a 350Z?
You can buy high quality HID kits on eBay for about 100-150 bucks. You pretty much just unscrew the stock halogen bulb, and screw in the HID bulb, and attach the original wring to the ballast. Then find some room in the engine compartment which is cool and mount the ballast. I have had pretty good luck mounting the ballast with zip ties and double sided tape. Its a pretty easy install, and well worth it. If the beam of light is not where you want after you've completed the install, then Google "how to adjust 350z headlight". good luck.

Reconnect the battery and confirm the repair.
