That looks amazing! My next mod for sure, this tinted windshield isn't helping at all with the oem halogens. Where did you get them and how much if you don't mind me asking?

Default My order from DDM and LMC came today..!

I have a 99TA so I ordered the 35W 10K 9006 slim ballast kit and the 35W 10K 880 slim ballast kit for the fogs. With shipping it was $83 bucks.. DDM has a car specific search that will help.

The LMC low beam housings (they call them "outer" housing) catalog # 36-0302 were about $83 bucks as well with shipping..

I can't wait to hook em' up tomorrow...

LOW's and FOG's are both plug and play... Fogs use the stock housing.. They say stick with 35W because of the heat of the bulb.

FYI... It seems a few people are buying the "inner" housings from LMC as well and using the bulbs that come with them since apparently HID's don't like to be flashed on and off...(catalog # 36-0303)

yes but it also depends on ur arm size i got skinny arms so i could fit them between the plastics and frame but some ppl having taken the front end off cuz their arm is too big. I went with 35w 6000k both fog lights and lows

its a relay wire that allows you to hook up both the ballast-- i dont think this happens to camaros but cause trans am/firebirds head lights flip out it takes power away n at the end it could leave to trouble
