Default Installing 9006 HID kit

I have been searching high and low on a "how to" thread on installing a set of KaDa Industries HID 9006 bulb conversions. I have yet to find a step by step install guide to do this. I have heard horror stories so I want to make sure I do this right. How long should this take me to install?

should be a simple "bulb swap" and connect the power for the ballast to the low beam plug.

basic stuff really...

Should be pretty basic as stated.

Just figure a good place to mount the ballast that's within reach of the harness length.
