Take the light off and pull all the bulbs out, then spray in both the turn signal hole and the high beam hole, don't spray too hard, but enough to make all the junk blow out.
Worked great for me
If you can feel it on the outside with your fingernail, you have some sanding and buffing to do

They looked like a much much less developed version of what's in Space's video. Trewyn, he was using an air compressor in that correct?

Yes, a air compressor 
or you could pull them out & put them in your oven 
What ? That's what's on the below link, but warning, I've never tried `it (LOL)

You most certainly need a harness on 55W, and it's highly recommended that you use one on a 35W too just because the initial power consumption drawn at the start up of the HIDs is much more powerful than the stock wattage. Over a period of time this could damage all the wiring.
Do you mean putting a 55W in the highs and disabling the DRLs? That works either wattage.

I'm eager to order my HID kit and I'm taking all of the info I can get about the safest set up for my car. You recommend a harness for my system. I understand the ballasts needing more power to start initially. I just wonder if you or anyone who has the set up with the harness could post a picture of it so I know roughly what it should look like. I would greatly appreciate it! Happy modding!
, no regrets except why didn't I do it earlier. Definitely order the harness as mentioned better safe than sorry. Do expect about 2 weeks for them to come in. Also if not mentioned your dust/moisture cover, on the back of the housing, you will have to notch out the very center to run the wires and cut a X or + in order to feed the wires.

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd let everyone know I ordered, received and installed a set of 35w 5000K bulbs from DDM in my Monte. They look phenomenal and I'll post pictures when I get the chance. The only confusion I have with them is that the female plug on the ballasts must've been wired in reverse, because when I plug them in the proper way for the clips to work, the bulbs won't work, but if I flip them around they light up perfectly. Anyone have this experience?
