Here's a good place to buy any automotive bulb weather its LED bulbs, hid kit, relay harness's or just upgraded halogens. Hell you can even get bulbs for your home,

Got the DDM Tuning kit installed....these are awesome....
Our cars should have come this way from the factory...
Only one downside....now I need them for the fogs....
Really easy to install...drill a 5/8 inch hole (or a 1 - 3/16 inch (30mm) if you want to use the entire grommet) in the back of the cover and plug and play...I got the 35Watt 5K's and they are plenty bright.
Low's and Fog's = H11
The ballasts do hum a little but you can't hear it unless you are under the hood.

Just wanted to post up, I've been running the DDM 8000K in 55w on the highs for a couple months now- including a 1800 mile trip. I haven't had an issue with burned up wires or anything.
I will say I'd probably get the 35w if I did it again- I have been flashed a couple times- it doesn't seem too bad coming head on though (me in another car coming at mine).

Okay, I just ordered my low beam kit and foglight kit for the GXP. (Lows are 9006, and fogs are H11 on the GXP) Now the question is, who has changed bulbs on the GXP fog lights? There are access panels under them, from underneath the car. Last time that I opened them, I found more plastic behind the access panels. Do you cut this plastic out? Any help is appreciated...

The Impala's and Monte Carlo's have a black circular door that covers the headlight bulbs.
This cover will have to be drilled through to pass the wires/bulb in/out.
The normal GP's and GXP's don't have them...you guys use 9006 and 9005 bulbs for your headlights.

my headlights are all fuxxed up, i took them apart to paint them cause i had nasty *** scratches on the outside, well the inside isnt scratched, i just didnt clean the inside lens right before putting them back together and sealing em up.. i wanted the pure clean white, this one has a light *** tint of blue in it, i may buy new bulbs in the future.. the 4500k is wat i shuda gotten right? errrrr
no pics of the hids yet, my fones trippen, wont send pics to my photobukett
and as for the tails dom, check it out
remember i was trying to get my fix it signed off? well the same day i was looking for an imp to let me borrow tails, i get pulled over... by the homie
the same cop that stoped me the first ticket, gave me yet another tinted tail/heads and no front license plate..
gave me 3 days to fix it this time, told me if i didnt get it fixed he will tow my **** if he sees me, and i know he will cuz he was about to since he remembered he had stopped me before for the same thing.. he wasnt a regular cop tho, well he was in regular cop uniform and a regular cop p71 but his vic said "field" someshit on the back instead of "east division"
so i got my tails redone the day after, costed more to redo then to tint
**** it tho got all my tickets cleared..
