HID kit wanted...plus fitting

you dont need to take the bumper off with the "normal" lights. In "normal" lights theyre H7. I changed all my bulbs at once, be prepared for scratched hands. For the OEM+ look i usually put 6K bulbs in mine, its a nice sharp white, with a very pale blue tinge. I have used 8K before, but they where a little too blue for my liking. IRRC 4500K is the whitest you can get, but might be worth double checking online.
Its the same as changing a bulb, kind of. Where you plug the cars harness into the back of the bulb, you put the kit inbetween. When you have a look its self explanatory. The O/S is easy enough to do, you might need to wiggle the washer filler out the way, but plenty of space.
THe N/S is a bit more of a ball ache. You need to undo and remove the solenoid thing (for the air intake) and also take the battery/fuse covers off. You can squeeze your hands down and in then to change them. I put the ballasts inside the battery box (inside another little plastic box i had lying around)
I tied the N/S ballast to underneath the slam panel to make it nice a neat.
Done loads of them now,on various different cars (mainly VAG tbh)
Any more help drop me a pm
I'l see if I can word it better for you lol

If your fitting the projectors at the same time, make sure you get them alligned afterwards so your not blinding everyone lol
If keil would listen properly you may understand what i am trying to say.
If you Want to get slim line ballasts then you can but to fit hids properly you need to do the following
Take the bumper off
Take the lights out turn then upside down
Insert the bulbs and slide the balasts into the ballast holding pack located on the underneath of the projectors
This will save cable ties , drilling etc , it also Looks a factory fit as that's where the Renault ballat packs sit
Do it right or don't bother IMO , time you take pissing about trying not to take bumper off it's not worth it .
Took me 20 mins start to finish .
Honestly its not hard also you cant see the packs if you do it the way i said far more better and a factory look if you want them right !

sound advice from leigh. Do it that way if the projectors have slot for the ballest.
may have to invest in some projector lights myself now, but £300 for some headlights!
