It sounds like the HID kit has some tolerance to it. We will see, I may get rid of the DRLs anyway just to be on the safe side, been getting conflicting stories.

Thanks. I think DRLs are useless in Cali, I still have them enabled on the GTO and still have idots jump in front of me. Then when I confront them they have the look as if they didn't see me there.

FYI, I was the resident HID expert on G6performance.com and as mentioned if you buy the cheaper kits they absolutely will not run with anything less then straight 12v. Therefore Ebay kits and other kits which I have installed countless numbers of in various vehicles will strobe like a strobe light. That is the ballasts way of letting you know it is not receiving the proper voltage. Also as mentioned I have installed many many $49 dollar kits from various places and with the proper wiring relay harness and pulling the DRL fuse they work just as good as the higher priced kits. Just food for thought.

Just food for thought. Once you factor in the extra 15-25$ for the relay harness you might as well get the ones I know about and spend 15$ more and get a lifetime warranty...Just food for thought
Installed HID kits in low beam and fog lights this weekend.
Just installed HID lights in my low beams and fog lights in my 06 GTO this weekend using the kits sold by MJGTOWISH . These kits work extremely well, look great, and took about 2 hours to install. Most of these two hours was spent looking for a suitable place to mount the ballasts, especially for the fog lights.
Installed 35w 4300k bulbs in both and WOW are these things bright. A world of difference from the stock bulbs. Didn't take any comparison shots due to daytime install but will upload photos of the HID lights and ballast locations tomorrow. For the price this kit is great but stick to the posted instructions by MJGTOWISH or figure it out yourself (if you can figure out how to cook Ramen Noodles you can figure this out), the box comes with extremely bad (so bad i laughed out loud and showed my friends) english translations.
Kits came quickly, installed well, and the seller was quick to reply to any emails/PM sent. I would suggest this kit to anyone looking to make the switch to HIDs.
