Hey nace818 -
I have been thinking of making the HID conversion on my 2006 CXS but I have some reservations about doing it. My fears are:
 
1. Getting a cheap/low quality HID kit. Which one do you have?
2. Where to locate the ballasts. Seems like it would look bad, rattle, Etc.
3. Flickering lights... Do you have any issues? Did you need any resistors?
 
Please let me know how your HID conversion went. Thanks.

I had a shop do it, so I'm not sure of the brand. I've had no issues until recently whrn one of the bulbs went out, but it had been about two years since installed. So I guess that is not reaslly an issue. I just recently saw the video with only the fender liner removed to change a bulb. Whwn I first had it done the shop removed the front bumper cover. Maybe this has to be done to put in the ballast. I haven't had any rattles though. By the way, the burned out bulb was replaced for free. My initial insatllation cost was a bit steep though at $480.00.
