    this comes up at least once a day, use the search button type in HID and click appearance and it will take you to the HID threads. they are plug and play, make sure you pick up a relay harness too, i bought mine from VVME.com

    it says to do it but from what i see is that the only reason for the hole is for a barrier the prevents you from wiring it. When i installed my headlights i didnt do it because there is no need for it. if you want i can take pictures of mine and send them to you. im sure the 08's and 05 headlights are the same

    True. Headlights are DOT approved as a unit, and any modification of that unit, including using a different bulb type, makes them non-approved, and therefor illegal on the road.

    So the 12000k ones aren't necessarily the brightest ones?

    the lower the color (based on the Kelvin temp for example 6000k do now put as much lights as 3000k ones). I have not heard that they are illegal but that could be a state law or county law. It also depends on the type of ballast you get with your HID kit
