Installing bulbs is pretty self-explanatory..
Here is where I grounded both relays. It's on the driver side right in front of fuse box under hood.
You will see I labeled every single connection (high and low) when installing. Once wires are tucked away neatly, it's very difficult to follow wires if you do end up needing to replace a bulb, ballast, relay, etc. Precautionary measures!!!
And hot relays got hooked directly to positive lug on battery...

Routing relay wiring to passenger side of vehicle...
Under intake mounting location..
And above radiator, tucked away under this panel (can see zip-ties where relay wiring is hidden underneath)...
Behind washer fluid fill neck on passenger side...
And ballasts for passenger side lamps I could not mound exactly the same way as driver side without cutting and splicing relay so they are mounted a little different.

*********IMPORTANT NOTE IF DOING HIGH BEAM HIDS**********
This particular model year, 2013, and I would assume all other 2010-2013 at least, have a dust cover that screws on for the high beam bulb... You will have to drill a 7/8" hole next to the factory grommet that allows the factory wiring through...
The good news is this kit come with a rubber grommet so a 7/8" hole is perfect and I silicone'd it up after to ensure a good seal (better than the factory grommet seal in my opinion).

Road pics updated...
Night and day difference between halogen and HID. I adjusted the height a little after installing the HIDs, they were a little too low and could really tell after installing the HIDs.
Excellent light output now!!!
