can't beat DDMTuning HIDs. VERY good value compared to silverstars and 10x as bright.

I couldn't be happier with my DDM HIDs. Low cost and easy to install. Just be patient with their shipping, DDM said it can take some time to get the order to you. My order took 3 weeks to arrive but I didn't have a problem with it, their prices are the best I could find.

I think the OP just wants bulbs, they said no modifications.

I think most people go with the PIAA bulbs though I haven't tried them.

H11 HIDs are direct replacements. From what I've heard, the relay harness is optional, though I won't run HIDs without a harness.

That said, it's about a 20 minute job to swap in HIDs WITH a harness, and it's easy too.

I've run PIAAs and there's no comparison between them and DDM HIDs.

i think replacing the bulbs in it is a waste of money. if your going to spend money on it its better to just buy the hids.

If you do not want HID's, I have Silverstar Ultra bulbs. They are pretty bright, and they are also white. Works fine for me!!!

Why not go HID when they are roughly the same price as just a set of bulbs when you get a DDM kit with a warranty?

If you want to stick with halogens, philips xtreme power bulbs are nice. They are much better than silverstars.

Will the H11 work for the GXP?
