I wish I would have gotten the 5K's, because I wanted to stay away from the blue-ish color.
It still looks and performs sweet as hell.
It's pretty much a plug and play kit, however, I still had to do some slight modifications on my vehicles. The Denali, SSEi, and Camaro are all 9006 bulb types. With the 9006 application, I had to remove part of the wiring it came with, and also swap the wires on the vehicles headlamp wiring harness. The HID kit shows on the connector which wire needs to be the positive and negative wires on the actual harness. With both cars I hooked up, the wires were switched, so I had to push out the wires from the car's harness, and swap them. Make sense?
The only problem I had with the Denali is that the daytime running lights aren't very easily bypassed. I ended up buying the 'harness' they sell with the relay and battery connections to hopefully solve the issue. The problem with DRL's is that the vehicle only sends like half the power to the bulbs compared to having your normal headlights on. The HID's need more than that to function, so you run into problems where only one HID bulb will come on, or none at all. It just can't draw enough power to ignite.
So what the harness does, is it connects the HID kit directly to the battery and only uses the 'signal' of ON or OFF from the headlamp wires (or so I'm hoping :crying).
Ryan, can you shed some light on this problem? Is my thinking correct?
The SSEi was fine, though.... because it uses the high beam bulbs at half power for the DRL's. :thumbsup
I'm still debating whether or not to convert the SS to HID's. I think it would attract even MORE unwanted attention to it.
