HID lights for my 2003 Protege

Hey I just got the same kit.
Can you tell me how did u install yours? do i need to buy any extra accesories ?
I'll post some pictures up later today and show you what it looks like put together. Its really just a plug and play set up.
You will not need any extra accessories,I slipped my wires through my grommet. You can see in the picture where I connected the HID lamp wires which connect to the ballast and in the next I connected the standard lamp connector to my ballast (circled in red). putted the bonnet back on and then your done. Its kind of a cut and dry set up ,really simple, I hope these pictures help.

Can you guys post the web sites where you got your HID's? I was using PIAA lights, and now I need an upgrade for my MP3! 
I've run multiple kits, Apexcone, TechOne, and Raptor (by DDMtuning)
Google DDMTuning and their raptor kit (for like $35 plus shipping) works just as well as my $120 (at the time) Apexcone kit
edit- just read MP3. . . . you are gonna want the bi-xenon kit (NOT THE KIT with just a halogen bulb attached for the high beam) so it'll cost more for you

Thanks for the links.
Where's this bi-xenon kit? http://www.ddmtuning.com/catalog/HID_Kits-85-1.html
I think do want a low/high beam capabilities. Do most of you guys get that?

hmm.....i don't think the Raptor kit is offered in bixenon, just hi/low (which is just a halogen 55watt bulb stuck to the side of the HID bulb
I know retrosolutions (google it) sells a legit H4 bixenon kit with solinoid and a sleeve that covers/uncovers part of the bulb for a true bixenon HID low and high beam from one bulb

Looking at the prices, seems hi/low HID's run about at least $100 more. Maybe I don't need high's that much.

shouldn't be THAT much more... $30 maybe... I have a bixenon kit in mine, but have the right side disabled.
