You cant beat ddms lifetime warranty. I have yet to have a problem with mine. Install was cake with no cutting or splicing. The only thing i had to do was switch the positive and negative wires on the factory wiring plug to get the ballast power. I had to do this because all GM's headlights had reverse polarity from the factory and the the factory halogens worked either way they were hooked up. All it took was a paper clip to pull the wires out of the factory connector. Like i said it was a breeze and well worth it in the end!

I just bought Xentec 4300K hid kit from ebay for that same price. I'll post pics when I get everything installed.
I can't decide if I want to get a kit for the fogs as well...

well here are some quick pics that i took real quickly today.




forgot to take some pics with the low beams on at the same time.
this picture doesnt do it justice but shows a little bit how it looks from the side somewhat.

I have a feeling people will be flashing me and thinking I have my brights on when driving with the fogs and lows engaged...Have you had any issues with this?
