DDM tuning I'm ordering DDM tuning slim ballast 35w 9006 in 6000k for my lows and 35w 880's in 5000k for fogs. Will the difference between 6000k and 5000k look wierd?
Also was wondering if it is mandatory that you need the harness for both the lows and fogs or either or?

Not sure about the color difference, I would image that it wouldn't be THAT different.
I don't think that you will need a special harness for either the lows/fogs. Basically, you will just unplug the wire going into your stock bulbs and plug it into the ballasts. The ballasts will have an existing wire attached to them, this wire will go to the HID bulbs.

I believe that an additional harness is ONLY needed for the Trans Am low/high beams. The Camaro guys are lucky since their headlights use a standard halogen bulb (i.e. not a sealed beam like on the T/A).
I've never heard about these cars having trouble with harnesses like you stated.

The 6000k will only be slightly blue in color compared to the 5000k, which will be all white. I have both the 9006 lows and the 880 fogs with NO relay harnesses for either. But I did purchase 2 relay harnesses just in case but it turns out I didn't need them and the battery mark is still right around where it was before these went on.

The harness isn't needed for the Camaro low beams. Birds do because the additional startup draw of the headlight motor can cause the HID to not fire.
For Camaro (and Bird) fogs, I'm not sure... Some say yes, some say no. I've heard of some people having radio noise when putting HIDs on their fogs. I have no idea... I still have halogen fogs. I upgraded to 886 50W bulbs to replace the craptastic 894 37W bulbs, if that doesn't work out well I might end up with HID.

just plug and play, i have 6000k in both my fogs and lows from ddm. as for the color difference, i would say that you will BARELY be able to tell the difference. reason is because the fogs are so close to the ground, you arent going to notice it. Why did you go with different colors though?

What wattage are you using in both? Using a harness or not?
