It's very easy. The harness connects to the battery and has 2 leads to the passenger side headlamp area (1 connects to the factory headlight connector for a trigger) and 1 to the driver's side. You can run them all along the passenger side and run the driver's across the radiator support, or run the driver's side across the fire wall and down the fender. There's enough cable for either. I ran mine across the fire wall. Pick up some cable ties to attach the new cables to existing bundles and it makes it nice and neat. I drilled a small hole in the firewall and used a sheetmetal screw to mount the relays.
You need to remove the grill and the headlights drop right in using the factory retainer rings. I taped up the extra factory headlight connector on the driver's side just to be safe.
You'll be pleased with the end product. The difference from the factory headlights is amazing.
