Re: hid's
Do you have a phase 1 or phase 2 megane 2? normal hid for phase 2 projecter type or a shielded bulb for phase 1
It really is easy to fit if you can change a bulb you can fit them.
Easiest way is to remove the bumper if you don't want to go that way remove the wheel arch liners only a few fixings

Re: hid's
If there like mine were you just plug the old bulb socket to the hid power supply then the hid goes into the bulb housing, simple as that... If you post a photo of what you have I can advise you easier

Re: hid's
Simple to do, but would advise getting a separate relay for them and powering the ballasts directly off the battery. I have a separate relay but didn't have it with me at the garage when I had the car in bits so didn't fit it, but I think I will end up fitting one of these warmer weekends. Without it, the ballasts are a bit unstable and if you switch the lights on immediately after switching the engine on, you migh only get one headlight powering up due to the power being sapped but other electrics... not a real problem though as you can switch them off and on again and they'll power up but why shold you have to do that? You might not even realise you only got one headlamp working until you see the cars's reflection somewhere or the beam pattern on the back of another car.
One other thing - you need to check which of the connections on the headlamp is + and which is - and connect these the correct way round to the red and blue wires.....

Re: hid's
I think that one of the plugs goes into the main unit that comes with the kit and the other is a socket type plug that goes to the existing light plug..
That make sense?
