Once you do that, the HID kit is all plug and play.

I did this awhile ago, with the lmc housings, I'm very satisfied with the cut-off and output, 35w 6000k
I'm just concerned with the fog housings now after 7 months of hid use, I now try not to have them on always, it's starting to melt in the centers, and gets slightly worse over time, it's 35w 6000k for the fogs as well, both kits from DDM, I think it's because the bulb is super long and gets really close to center/inside of the housing.
I suppose I can find alternate glass housings down the road.

I did mine from the top without removing anything. Its a PITA as theres not much room to work with. I believe you can remove a couple access panels under the bumper to get easier access.

So, is it necessary to buy 2 different HID kits if you're changing the low beams AND the fog lights? Like do you buy 1 kit for $40 for the Low Beams, and then another kit for the fog lights? Does each bulb need its own HID Ballast or can you run 2 different bulbs from the same ballast?

bringing this back from the dead. i pulled the bulbs to the headlights and fogs. and installed them in my tahoe since the t/a isnt running (going to buy a new set of bulbs and ballasts for her). Turns out i got sent a 6K headlight bulb and a 5K fog.
