Sure...but please include the proper steps to make the Lamp Monitor happy as well as the unlock/lock flash of the headlights disabled and toss in the DRL override along with how to retain full power DRL'* for our neighbors to the north that must run them.

maybe lol.
A write up is best when it'* complete and addresses the nuances that will come up when doing a mod. That way the person following it doesn't get 3/4 of the way through and say "what about X". And they don't burn out ballasts quickly because of the flash. Canandians need DRL'* and can't eliminate them. Then there'* the SSE/SSEi lamp monitor. Once you have one, you want to ensure you teach it the new lights so it doesn't drive you nuts.

usually it'* not done because low beam HIDs produce more light than standard high beam bulbs. The other thing is most folks don't bypass the relay that turns off the low beam. When the ballast first kicks on for high beam, it'll need a couple seconds to warm up. This causes the light to be less bright when you first turn them on.
