    Hey everyone. I've tried doing some research on here and looking around. I'm not really getting a straight answer. I'm looking for an hid kit that isn't going to blow on my in a week. I'm just looking for something quality. And do I need relay harnesses? I have an 05 grand prix gtp.

    A relay harness is a good idea, you will get better, more consistent power to the ballasts that way.

    I've had good luck with their HID kits

    Though
    http://www.theretrofitsource.com/
    Has some of the best kits available.

    Really??
    If you haven't come across the words The Retrofit Source, aka TRS, about a godzillion times you haven't been looking hard enough.
    More money but way way better.

    Nah the other one on my current setup. One rusted the other didn't. It was like that on my first set also. One rusted the other didn't.. I think it's just a matter of finding the right place the put them.
