Xentec - The kit I used.  Also, remove the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) relay, #173.  It's located where the fuses are but a little deeper behind the dashboard -- it easily pulls straight out.  Yes, you'll have to manually turn on your lights when you drive now.  You can drive with the relay intact and the lights will come one (well, ours did), but the HIDs are getting a reduced voltage and may not turn on, they could even turn off while driving due to the reduced voltage feeding them.  By removing the relay you insure that they get full voltage when you turn on the headlights.
