I'd suggest the retrofit source and nothing else.

[Dalakian]

They seem to offer very high quality product, however, I don't see the actual headlights for sale which is a must for me. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as the actual "angel eyes" headlights go?

Also, I'm not looking to spend $1,000 on this, I would prefer to stick to $200-300 price range. Thanks!

Ebay projectors, which is the only thing available, all have issues.

I'm about to order headlights, can't decide on 4300K/6000K. Maybe it's not that big of a difference, but I might tint my headlights, and wouldn't want that to mess with the color.

[tod1d]

If you tint your headlights then it will cut down on how bright they are so you want the maximum light output which is 4300K

[spazzz]

I have an 04, you don't NEEd the harness to make the HIDs work. Its just the for $10-15 more, why not have them connected Better

[DirtDog]

Hey you guys knows if in the 04+ GP do you need a relay? I remember using no relay on my old 07 GP base just the ballasts with this black box in connected to it that connects with it to the Bulbs. They plugged into the stock plugs for the headlights.

I have an 06 gxp and when I put my 55watt ballasts in I got lots of flickering from lack of power. I then got a relay to power em off of battery and no more problems and brighter

Ive got 35w 4300k in some spyder projectors and they are plenty bright. I wouldn't get the sypders again though. I would instead stick to vendors on this site. Dash Z + Diode Dynamics.

[DirtDog]

Yea diode dynamics are good. The hid's I got were from automat central and they are very good and way brighter than stock

Ok thanks i wanted to know if i ever get a GP back, i have the headlights a 5k 9006 but i didn't know if i needed the relay.

Hey you saying that the Relay will make the HIDs more brighter?

[DirtDog]

The harnesses only cost 10 bucks total

Ya i know they are pretty cheap but just more time to put it on, and im lazy but ill see.

Hey i got a problem, on my SUV (Chrysler aspen 2007) i got HIDs new ones 6k all around with the headlights being h13 hi and low HIDs and the fogs are 9145. The fogs have started to flicker a little bit, we had someone install them since it was hard to get to the fogs but i think the guy has the relays to the headlights. So does that mean the fogs need a relay too now?

Before we had the differ fogs the same color 6k but they seem to be a differ color from the top and also flickered so we took it back today and he replace one of the sides bulb and ballast and it was the same color as are headlights finally and so change they other sides bulb only. So they stopped flickering until just now one side started to flicker then the other one did too. and when i mean flicker i mean like as if the bulb was shaking on the floor or like vibrating. But then when the other side fog started flickering i can see it in the lamp. So what the hell is wrong do both the headlights and fogs need relay cause i know one of them has it and i think its the headlights.

[DirtDog]

That flickering sounds just like what I was experiencing with my 55watt ballasts. So id say yes u need the relay to power em off of the battery. In my opinion after all I've learned the last couple weeks I think its good practice to put a relay on all HID's

[SF9777]

ok, i know i should practice but first ill have our guy install em and watch first then ill try myself later on.

Is it possible to have 2 relays on the battery, One for the headlights and one for the fogs?

Hey, I want to replace the stock o-nex brand HIDs for the fogs i have right now from the 6000k i have to the 3000k. I live just a few miles awat from DDM tuning retail store which is great since the shiping from ordering online is expensive. They said the bulb is just 15$ which is great. But i just want to know are DDM Tunings HIDs great? Im hoping they are cause i want to get the 3000k Fogs for my SUV. Also will the 3000k fogs look good with the 6000k headlights i have, and will the 3000k be brighter than the 6000k? The 3000k yellow wont look like ricer lights will it?
