I don't remember my 5000k being that blue when I had my SS. Perhaps just the camera though. Also, highly recommended to have a relay harness! This is what my 5k looked like. Although mine is probably a worse pic haha.

Okay, Not to ![Hijacked!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/myhijacked2.gif)
But... I am looking at getting the same setup just 4500k, so just white
I would like to have it in both the low beam's and the fogs eventually
However, just to have the low beams (9006) do I need the harness? or is it just a plug and play system on the GXP's?
With the fog's would I need a harness or anything? Would either of these get too "hot" being in a headlight designed for halogen lights?
Thank's and sorry about the 1/2 thread hijack. I am horrible with electricity haha.

I just finished installing the realy harness for my lights. Maybe it will make them a little whiter. Will find out tonight. And the harness is worth the money I paid $15 for two harnesses and it is really easy to install. Makes me feel a little safer.

As far as your color changing with the harness, shouldn't make a difference there. For comparison sake I originally had 4300k which were just pure white and the when I got the 5000k bulbs there wasn't that much of a noticeable difference in color.

DDM bulbs are junk. Plain and simple. They get VERY hot (melt shrouds) and never truly represent their indicated Kelvin value.
If you're on a budget, stick with them for a while until you can muster the funds for some Philips (pricey), OSRAM Sylvania (pricey), or Morimoto bulbs (cheaper than the others - get them at The Retrofit Source).
I have the 4500K bulbs (fogs) from them and they're still somewhat blue.![](http://www.gpona.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Perform a search. I've posted many times about where to get the harnesses [for cheap].
