    Hello All,

    So I've decided to get some retrofits from Classy Pontiac for my 05 GXP. It's the dark cherry (or burgundy) color.
    I will only being doing low beam as my understanding is high beam is a waste and pointless. I will have the demon eye mod and halo.

    Now here's where the input is welcome. I need color ideas for the shroud and halo.

    My thought is:

    1. Red Demon eye
    2. White Halo (not sure if using other color will piss off the law)
    3. For shroud I'm not sure, but I'm thinking dark color

    Do not want to overdue the red, and color matching the dark cherry will cost more.

    Please chime in, good or bad (I can take criticism)

    The mini h1 is a bi xenon which is high and low. When you flash your highs, they will go on as well as your regular highs as long as their spliced together.

    For color I'd say either go black, gunmetal or do the burgundy. I color matched my red in my first one and did gunmetal in my quad. Color matched looked good and so does gunmetal.

    Very nice pics. The highs will be spliced in. I'm trying to soak in all the research I can.
    I have to look deeper at correcting any possible flicker due to Daytime running lights.

    And also need to find a good kit to use with the H1 Bi-Xenon setup I will have

    I'm pretty sure you can disable the DRLs.

    If I tape off the sensor won't that trigger my auto lights? I think it would, and once triggered it doesn't allow me to turn them off.

    Just an update. My running lights do not power my headlights. The light the marker lights in the bumper. So looks like that will work out well for me there. Now just to hunt down some clear lenses for them and a couple switch backs. I think that will work out nice. What do you guys think?
