through a guitar with passive pickups , take out the old pots (things under the knobs in the guitar) , take out the old input jack and replace them all with the new active pickup ones. After words put in all the new stuff, connect the pickups and you're done. I recommend the X series ones as they are a lot easier to do, plus once their in properly you can switch them any time you want. If its hard just pay the 50-100$ for a guitar tech to do it. Craigslist has some cheap ones.

You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).
