they are plug and play but not just bulbs...basically its this... new wireharness connects to your stock one on driverside from their they go to the ballast (2 of them.. on on each side) from the ballast they connect to the bulbs... on the new wire harness their is a black and red cable that connect to your batteries... and thats it..... when you turn on yoru lights power goes from your OEM harness to the new one turning on the ballasts which turn on your lights took me around an hour to hook them up and only because i had to remove both my batteries to get to my bulbs

let me know if you have any other questions

their a lil brighter... def not as bright as HID's... but if you just want them to be a lil whiter and brighter than stockers you can go with just xenon replacements like the sylvania or similar products....

Yeah, silverstars are pretty good. They last longer than those cheaper ones on e-bay. Mine seem to burn out pretty fast either way...I think it is just because they are used a lot during the alaska winter.

Raul, so I took a look at the kits. That is just for say the low beams right? I would need 2 kits (one for 9005 and one for 9006) if I wanted to convert to HID? What would you recommend?

you could try just the low beams first... they are very bright to the point that you might need your high beams anymore.... you can always add it later
