Installing HID replacement fogs

Installing HID replacement fogs
Ok so I tried giving this a shot and I want to try to do it the cleanest way possible. I bought the HID kit from RX Performance and they were pretty quick in delivering it. Thanks RX! but they didn't come with any directions. I figured out how the wiring goes but it doesn't look easy at all.
After looking at the back of the headlight assembly, I saw that there is a cap sealing the fog light and parking light in place. Also, the foglight has only one prong for power and apparently, the base of the bulb acts as the ground so there is no harness to plug straight into the balast. And since the base of the HID bulb is plastic, the base isn't used as the ground. Also, the center hole in the cap assembly is not large enough to fit the wiring from the balast to the bulb wire, and the balast to power/ground wire. Also, I can't figure out how to cleanly mount the ground wire. Is there a DIY out for this or can someone lend me some tips? I appreciate it.
Mods, please don't move this thread, I think it may get more views and I can get more tips by putting it in the more active section of the forum. Thanks

Not the input I was looking for and there are ways to deal with glare. If your driving through one way city streets like I am, maybe brighter fogs would help me notice a little kid about to dash into the middle of the street in the middle of the night. So how bout we say I'm a humanitarian and I should get install advice.
