Please note factory 2014 Buick Lacrosse projector headlights come equip with 9006 halogen bulbs. I was originally provided H11 series bulbs by HID vendor and they did not and will not fit in the housing correctly.
I purchased a 6000K HID kit from Xenon Pro for my 2014 Lacrosse. The bulbs and ballasts fit perfect with OEM parts. To install correctly a 1" hole must be drilled in plastic headlight housing cover (located under the hood behind the actual headlights) in order to insert HID rubber grommet and ensure waterproof seal. The kit was plug and play no wire splicing required. I mounted the ballast to the frame of the car using Buick's predrilled holes and mounting brackets + zip ties.
Overall installation took about 1.5 hours. I would recommend Xenon Pro as a source for HID kits/part. I am very happy with the overall look the HID kit has brought to my Lacrosse. The 6000K bulbs are white with slight hint of light blue (depending on angle). There is noticeable improvement in driving visibility at night but to be honest purchased kit for the premium look it brings to the car. Next up 20% tint. Questions let me know....
Hello I was wondering how did you put hids in your car. I just got a 2014 buick lacrosse myself and it didn't come with hids. Please if you can share the details I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Below is play by play for 2014 Buick Lacrosse HID install:
Remove headlamp housing covers located directly behind the headlamp by turning counter clockwise. Once the inside of housing is exposed twist the 9006 halogen bulb counter clockwise and disconnect factory harness plug/clip to remove bulb from headlamp.The HID kit will come with 2 rubber grommets with wires already run through (this is used to water proof your installation). Drill a 1” diameter hole into plastic headlamp housing covers so the rubber grommet can fit inside the hole. Install the rubber grommets inside the 1” hole. The female end of the plug which runs through the grommet will clip into Buick male factory harness/plug. This connection provides the power from the car/battery to the Ballast. Once the male/female connection has been made to your Buick factory harness you can connect the other end of grommet (male plug) into the female plug of the ballast (the ballast comes with the HID kit and looks like a box). Connect the other end of the ballast (two smaller plugs) into the HID lights. Note the HID lights run through the grommet.
I mounted my ballast to the frame of the Buick under the hood with bolt/nut and zip ties. You can mount anywhere you find predrilled holes just secure away from moving mechanical parts.
