I might go and do that too. Do you know if extra ballasts are needed for the headlights?

also, i bought new 5000k hid bulbs, they were well rated on amazon and like $10!

Actually diode dynamics due create their own housing. I disagree that you can find exact products for cheap on eBay.

LEDs are bright to look at, but they dont throw light very far. I went with 3000k HIDs in my ZL1 bumper (same projector if i'm not mistaken) and they're incredibly bright. Theyre an ebay special too (granted i hooked them up via a 14 gauge wiring harness)!

Same housing, my HID's get as much range as my headlights!

They make some light bars, They do not make housings. and yes you can find everything they have in stock cheaper on ebay and amazon both. The exact same things, no difference at all. except maybe the packaging. They buy from china wholesalers. Most if not all american companys do this. The mark up is mainly to cover for a warranty. If someone feels better about purchasing from a american company more power to them, but i prefer to save money and avoid the ridiculous markup. A little research and you will see.
