2002 Headlight question
My passenger headlight is cracked. How hard would it be to switch over my existing ballast to another 2002 oem headlight missing the ballast?

one plug and three screws secure the hid module to the headlight assembly which is secured to the car with two 10mm bolts if your car doesn't have the anti theft brackets.

Okay, that part shouldnt be a problem but what I am worried about is the actual connecting of the ballast to the headlight. Its not overly complicated right? No wire splicing or anything like that?

unless you are trying to go with a complete retrofit (i.e. bmw projectors, etc), replacing oem parts with same oem parts would be plug and play.
