Hid lights
Can any of you tell me if the hid kits are plug and play? Can you uninstall them easaly? Are there any issues with them shorting anything out? I know very little about them and have been thinking of getting some. Also does anyone know anything about ebay kits?

they are plug and play...KINDA.
you have to either to the modification which includes a relay or simply google or eBay search for HiD warning cancel and you will find a bunch of options for the CanBus system. it basically plugs into the ballast and factory harness so you have a consistent power flow as the JK has a "pulsed electronic system".
I suck at electrical so simply plugging in the adapter is 10x easier than rewiring the HiD lamps and ballasts.
here are the adapters I have:

You need the light kit, a relay harness and a capacitor or antiflickering adapter. some kits come with the relay harness just be really careful because you're gonna be screwed buying from the guy i did..."autoilliminate"....if you post negative feedback on him, he wont warranty the product. F^&k that.
i suggest googling retro solutions for a reputable dealer who provides a lifetime warranty. i am getting a real setup from him. he actually provides support.
