Bobby, how do the Xentec's look in your lows? Since I'm assuming you don't have projectors, I'm wondering how it would look.
Do you have any night shots of them installed?

One thing to be aware of, GM in their wisdom wired our stock plugs backwards. Why, I have no idea. Halogens don't care, but the HIDs do. So if you plug it all in and it doesn't work, plug the end that goes to the stock headlight bulb plug in "backwards" and it should work fine.

For sure I'd love to see them. But wait, do you have aftermarket halo headlights? I thought most those have projectors..

as for what to search on ebay this is what you type "slim hid 9600" or "slim hid 880" and you will see on there the xentec ones.

I would go to ddmtuning.com and get a set of HID's from them. I have them on my truck, my car, and my gf's honda and they are excellent. I opted for the 6000k bulbs. Well worth the investment and i will never go back to a regular halogen or a sylvania silverstar for that matter!

^ hey 02CamaroSSLE are you saying that from experience of having the 8K???
and i finally decided to buy either the ddmtuning.com HID's or the xentec's off ebay. Now i just dont know which one to buy. The ddmtuning's have a lifetime warranty while the Xentec's seem to be manufactured better being there ISO-9001 certified and have a .2 failure rate. Someone help me out which ones should i get???

I have the DDM HID's on my headlights and fog lights. No cutting just plug and play. I decided to go with DDM because of their lifetime warranty. They look really good. I got the 35W 6000K bulbs for both. I will take some pics tonight.
