It's really, really easy...
I have pics on my profile of 6000K (they came out bluer than they really are)

But yea, it's a cakewalk. Check out the sponsored sales section, there's two kits, selling for $160-170.

Wiring them is very simple; it should take the common man about an hour. It pretty much involves grounding a wire to the frame and connecting a power wire to the batt. Then you would mount your ballasts in a place where you see fit and then plug the bulbs in and plug the wires from the ballasts to the harness and enjoy!!

You shouldn't have a problem. If so theres a ton of people here to help u.

I have a pretty good idea and my bro is a mechanic but also any problems with stock headlight housing when using HID's and where do most people mount them?

theres some holes to screw them down right behind the grill. A lot of people do it on top of the wheel well section on each side next to the headlights. but yeah, HID's are sick, it was the best 140 bucks i spent on the car i think.

6000K is really nice... the light is a lot whiter than it looks in the picture. It's a bright white with just a hint of blue.

And yea, it took me about 30 minutes to install mine.
