help with Halogen to Xenon

This weekend i want to start on a project where i can change my existing Halogen bulb to Xenon. I know i need a relay pack. I will make that myself i think. There is several ? i wanted to ask.

-Where to i connect the + terminal and the - terminal of the relay pack to?
- do i need to cutt any wires or buy another head lamp or cutt through anything which i hope not?
-what xenon and ballist combo is best to fit my needs?
-is it easy to install (plug and Play?)

I have done my studying on this website and i find it very helpful. Any input would greatly be appreciated. I have a 2001 4.4i but no xenon want to get xenon so i can be with the big boys .

Are you doing a full headlight replacement or are you putting an HID kit into your existing halogen housings?

yes I'd like to know this too. I have the Xenon housing and about to tackle this project. On the xenon light there's like an almost triangle housing (in between xenon and highbeam light) and have something that needs to be plugged in what is that for?

i just found this product on fleabay. This aftermarket xenon package looks to be promising. i have used there other bulbs before, and pleased with it. just want to have xenon now. It is made for BMW and Mercades and the low light beam will not indicated on the dash. What do you guys think.

If you are going to retrofit HIDs into your halogens, we offer top of the line ProLumen kits which are just as reliable as OEM xenons with <1% failure rate

Not to mention they come with a full lifetime warranty.
