<div align="center">Apexcone 5000K 35 Watt Hid Kit from XenonExpert.com Install/Review
First off I picked up this kit from Olivier on one of his new group buys.

I received the kit about 4-5 days after I ordered it and Olivier kept in contact the whole time and was quick to answer all of my questions.
I did a lot of research on the forums first in which I found and used the following install guide by mooncancook.

My guide will mainly be based off of his but with some updates
First off you will need the following tools
Drill, Phillips Screw Driver, 10mm Socket Wrench, Zip Ties and Electrical Tape
Also a 7/8” Butterfly Bit
First you will need to remove your front bumper, found here.

Next you will need to remove the 5 bolts holding on your headlights
There is one more copper colored bolt that is not shown in the second picture.
If you want you can remove the reflectors which you can find a how to here. (I did remove mine)

Once you have removed the low beam dust cap you can unhook your stock bulbs and connect your HIDs like in the picture. The brown wire is the positive (fits perfect) and the black is the negative which you will need to widen to make it fit over the head on the aftermarket kit.
When you have your dust caps off you will want to drill a small hole in them to make a good guide for when using the butterfly bit.
Once you have drilled them out totally they should look like this
After you have inserted your wires through I would recommend taping it up. Also notice how I applied tape to the connectors as well on the left side on the first picture.
Once that is done you will want to mount your ballasts. Here are some pictures where I mounted mine.

Passenger Side
Here are some quick pictures of the finished product.
Again thanks go out to mooncancook for his guide which helped to aid me in my install and laid the ground work for my how to.
Review
I first learned more about HIDs about two years back when I received them as part of an add on package when purchasing my Mazda3. I was very impressed at the time and once I bought my Mazda6 I knew that I would want to add them in the future. There is defiantly a huge difference between my stock Mazda6 lights, the old Mazda3 HIDs, and the Apexcone kit. This Apexcone it slight bright and has a “whiter” light being emited than the HIDs I had on the 3 which was a $750 dollar upgrade compared to the $270 which this kit cost. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Apexcone kit as it leaps and bounds better than the stock Mazda6 and also looks even better the upgrade from the factory that I had on my Mazda3. As for the install it was straight forward and took a little patients but at no means is not a task that can handled by someone with very little mechanical experience. Overall the install took me about 3 hours which also included a short drive to the Home Depot to get a butterfly bit and a few breaks. I was able to complete the install solo, so it is not necessary to have a helper. I would suggest when doing your install to remove the reflectors as not to run into any problems down the road with people flashing you or being harassed by the police. As for driving at night the 5000K has a great light output range and it can light up the street signs for quite a ways down the road. I am enjoying my night time driving even more now with the new HID and would recommend to anyone who is looking to add a little more visibility to your driving and also a little more sporty ness and class to your ride. Also another thing that sold me on the Apexcone kit was the lifetime warranty that is include. So thank you Olivier and Xenon Expert for great HID kit.
