Need to take out the front bumper. Jack up the car, put on jack stands. Take off the bumper (top snap bolts, bottom 10mm screws). There are four bolts that hold the stock headlight in place, take those off. Put on new lights, put back together in reverse order. Done and post pics.

Or you could to go the "other" z-tech site...3 5 0 z - t e c h haah, more instructions there...

Oh, you have non-hid? I don't know how that's gonna work...probably need ballasts and bulbs...

Here, follow my link on removing the front bumper. Not necessary to jack up your car.

Oh sorry if I misread. Back to your question, that is something different. If I recall, you may need to buy an aftermarket HID kit and mess around with it. There is a guy done it here before but I forgot his sn.

P.S. and GL

if he already has the lights and ballast, then he should be able to just plug and play into the stock harnesses, at least thats how aftermarket HID kits hook-up to the stock harness plug n play (base owner here )

For the base model, I think the stock harnesses are different than the other trim levels that comes with HID. Correct me if I am wrong.

This is correct. He has do some wiring work to get these to work. 03-05 HIDs are plug and play for 06+. You have to cut either the green or blue wire to prevent the yellow blinkers from staying on full times. I would suggest OP if you don't know your way around a wiring diagram take it to a shop.
