I think it is pretty easy, but I used the OEM wires, not any relay or something, almost plug and play, but you have to check if your wires can hold 15 amps, cause regular OEM lights only need 10 amps, if that so is pretty easy, and then you just change the fuse to 15 amps, you have to buy a Xenon Kit rebased for your type of bulb not OEM xenons, cause is going to be a PITA to installed them

Hope this helps

I am seriously contemplating this (5000k kit, 9005) for the high beams of the '03 Maxima.

Out of curiosity, are these lamps/kits legal in your area? I live in the Chicago suburbs and the police ticket vehicles with these systems unless the cars with the lights have the lights as OEM.

Personally on load leveling cars they don't bug me but on vehicles not designed for these lights, it annoys the crap outta me.
