Thank you for all the response. I will deffianently check out DDMtunig.com and also the ebay kits before I make my decision. Like I said above these are for my fathers truck so I just want to make sure I get him a quality kit. Bobbo489 no intrusion at all please ask away and that goes for everybody else the more questions asked and answered the better. Thanks again for all of replies.

For your information I cut my stock antenna, the 8" I bought from ebay broke somehow lol, cheap as hell. So I found a hex saw in my garage and cut the same 8" length, twist ball off and super glued to stock antenna

If you cant figure out how to install them without directions within the first 5 minutes, and dont get them running and on 10 minutes from when you start, there is seriously something wrong with you lol literally detatch your existing bulb, plug ballast that connects to HID bulb into the stock plug you took the stock light off of, and put the light in Iv never dont it on a camaro but I did it on my silverado and figured it will be the same since it uses the same exact bulb and set up

I didn't have to use any other harness than what was supplied. Connection flip...maybe just some of the hid kits you have to flip the main connections I guess. I haven't seen that in a while though.

ddmtuning here and no problems so far. Very easy to install plug and play. You may want to think about the HID harness. It runs off the battery instead of your stock wiring and cheap insurance. Also I have to reverse my connections going to the ballast. Something with the polarity on these GM cars is reversed.

Now i just need to get my fogs from DDM and I'll be set to go.
