If you live in the US, you can go to the dealer and have them do it. If you live in Canada, you are probably out of luck. The dealer has to do that, and I don't think any of them will unless you have a buddy that works at one.

Yes, to my knowledge it's the computer - but it's the StarScan tool, which only Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealers have. If you can do it, just watch out what the local laws are - you don't want to get ticketed for not having them if they are required.

SOS is correct. Must use a Starscan tool which is only sold to Chrysler dealerships. Also, HID's in stock housings are blinding for some oncoming drivers. The light scatter is 10X brighter than with halogen. HID's should be installed in projector housings for clarity, safety and light benefit as the light will travel further and be much more directed.
