    1: Should have gone with VVME

    2: You do not NEED a relay harness. You'll be just fine without. Plus, you need one harness if you do get one, not two.

    3: You do not need to disable the DRL's, but most of us do because there's no point in having your headlights on in the middle of the day. For 97-03 cars, you just remove the DRL fuse. Not sure about 04+

    4: For 97-03 Grand Prix's you need 880's for the fog lights. For 04+ you need 898, I THINK.

    False, DRL's kill the ballast because the voltage going to the bulb is reduced.

    97-00 is DRL fuse, 01-03 you have to unplug the heatsink and maybe one other thing.

    04+ people can tape over the DRL sensor thingy that senses light, I believe. Not 100% on how that all works.

    I'll stick with my 97.

    So easy to work on.
