[s-cars] HID Install

[Matthew Russell]

Mike - I pulled both ground and hot from the main harness connector 
going to the exterior of the light.  Instead of notching the cover and 
running wires out the side, i drilled with a holesaw for a tight and 
clean fit for the rubber grommet to fit perfectly into.  That flat spot 
on the cover worked well.  My reason for this was similar to another 
lister who posted on audiworld (sorry, name escapes me...) that if 
something in the setup blows, i can revert back to the silverstars with 
little work.

One thing i noticed after is the lows now stay on with the highs... was 
this always so? I guess I never noticed.
