Lightbulb Installing HID conversion set, need advice

Autumn dark is around the corner so I bought a DDM Premium Slimline HID Kit to prepare the car with better high beam lights.
I somehow thought it was a really quick "plug and play" job, but a short look under the hood made me missing someone with experience who could give some good advice.
Are there anyone who have done this conversion already and can share a good method for the job?

Thanks, - basic strategy, but easy to forget. I did, but as I haven't started yet so it is not to late.

Use a dremel, drill a hole through the plastic cover on the high beam side to allow the bulb wires and that rubber sealing grommet through. CLip bulb into place. you may need adaptors to clip the hid bulb into the actual housing. Some people sell customs on ebay and hidplanet.
