*** Ultimate HID thread ***

[offroadfury6]

Mine stay on as well, no idea what he's talking about.

I wouldn't suggest buying some of those GE nighthawks or whatever for your highs instead of the stock bulbs as they are pretty bright and won't completely blind people and kill your ballasts.

I've got HIDs in my lows for now and soon to be fogs.

yeah I guess so, probably will ditch the high beam idea...ah oh well, just wanted something even brighter to flash back cause alot of people are going to beam you with your HIDs...

[offroadfury6]

Anyone PERSONALLY running the HID's from DDM tuning?

will I have any issues installing HID's cause of DRL's?

check this out for all those 04+ GP owners...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpiCF...eature=related
Custom Projectors .... YEAAAHHH!!!

I can answer half of your question. I do have DDM HIDs (love them!)... don't know about the DRL issue because I can disable mine. DDM recommends disabling them.... but obviously, that's not an option. I even turned off the flash when you hit the lock/unlock.

[offroadfury6]

hmmm ok thanks 03GTPLE on the HID review from DDM tuning... So my next question is aimed directly at 04+ GP's, is there a way to disable DRL's ?

And since you admit you don't read the entire threads.. (as stated in another thread) if you go back a few pages, you might even find some pics

my ddm kit is supposed to ship today due to a back order i was not notified about.


where is that flash delete write up?

[03GTPLE]

in the owners manual... i don't remember what page, but you can customise all sorts of things that have to do with lights, chimes, and horn honks using your owner's manual.

[03GTPLE]

Here you go... it's on our site (the instructions).

The owners manual is on the internet. Google it, and if nothing else GM has it for free download.

[Koniig]

Alright thought I would post these for reference for all y'all 04+ (mine is GXP) owners.

From the side, these are 6000k they are not that blue.





Output with just the fogs



Output with fogs and headlights



Cutoff of just the projector fogs on my garage



Cutoff of the headlights, pretty solid for reflectors, it will never match the quality of projectors, but still solid



Overall, I'm extremely happy with them, hope this helps all of you guys with 7th gens who can't decide. :3

P.s. I want projectors, oh thanks for volunteering drunkie, your so kind.

i just installed my hids and they work great, but when i turn the lights on they flash bright for a splitsecond and then they brighten up. that is just them heating up right?

[03GTPLE]

yes

[doughboy0032]

Anyone Know which colors are what on the headlight harness of a 03 gp gt (hi/lo/ground)? I was hoping not to have to go out and buy a volt meter.

[offroadfury6]

Koniig , why in one pic are the lights a blue and in the last pice, they are pure white. Which one actually reprosents your HID's? how much did you pay? brand? and color temp?

thanks...

[offroadfury6]

I'm not understanding the first page. I undserstand why to do this but the process of actually moving the filament, I don't get. I've read over and over. doesn't really explain what you need to do to the bulb. just basically states that it needs to be moved down. will it pull out? cut something? screw off? what?....

It's just my phone

Both my headlights and fogs are 6k which is very white with a tint of blue in the background.

And what are you talking about in your second post there? I'd be glad to help

well if you read the first page its basically about moving the fliment from the HID to a lenght that is the same of the stock bulb ( in my case a 9006 ). from the fliment of a 9006 to the housing is differnt from the HID's.

my issue with my HID is that they are not bright enough, I bought them from DDMtuning, they are the same brightness as my slyvania ultras...

I just don't understand how you exactly move the filment in the HID bulb.

[matt5112]

you modify the housing so it sits at the right distance.
