I have a 15' SLE, want to get some HIDs in for the time being...9005 bulbs for the lows and h10s for the fogs? Do I need a relay for the lows?

I bought this kit off Amazon and have used it for 2 months now (including two trips from MO to Houston and one to Cincinnati all three mostly night driving!) with no issues and I LOVE the output! MUCH better than stock low beams!!
Quality components and half the price of the more popular brand on here... Amazon says it won't fit my vehicle (15 LT Suburban) but it does...

OPT7® Bolt AC 55w HID Xenon Conversion Kit w/ Relay Harness & Capacitors - 2 Year Warranty - H11 (5000K, Bright White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC2ZU4K/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_LFYVvbA4AKD0Q

And YES...you absolutely want a kit with the relay!!

Only thing I 'altered' and wasn't 'plug and play' was the power lead side from the battery to the inline fuse......I extended that lead by about 3ft so I could mount the inline fuse and relay on the front bulkhead next to the radiator for easy access if there were a need to change the fuse or troubleshoot the relay. Total install took me about 3 hours - but I am **** about everything looking clean and as close to 'factory' as possible so I spent a lot if time zip tieing all the wiring and/or covering it with wire looms. Pretty easy just time consuming. But best $70 I've spent on my Suburban to date!!!

Always get the retrofit source relay harnes, both low and fogs.

That harness rocks!

Warmup times, brightness, longevity, etc all improves dramatically with a good harness.
I use a 30 amp resettable circuit breaker for my hid relay kits. One breaker can server, lows, highs and fogs.



Nice see ha again beembub

What's budget on the bulbs?

Umm like cheap lol... I've already spent a shit load on this truck I just want a cheap hid kit for lows and fogs and when they go out I'll spend more on an expensive set. I had a ddm kit in my lows of my 07 Denali and amazon kit in my fogs and they last a year with no problems until I sold it the other day

Okay soooo of course I forgot to order a damn harness...I had a 55watt innovited HID kit on hand so I put that in the lows... worked perfectly..Until the engine turned on lol, then they death flickered and both shut off.... So I guess I'll have to wait two days for this relay harness to come... Also where are you guys putting your ballasts? Mine are crammed up, but they fit all the way in the housings..barely lol

I wouldn't put the ballast in the housing. There is a lot of heat already created in the housing due to the bulbs which may damage the ballast. Most people such as myself mount the driver side ballast against the inner fender vertical wall and on the passenger side under the air box or on top of the inner fender - both with double sided tape or self drilling screws via a supplied mount.

I mounted mine with 3M Extreme Duty Outdoor mounting tape and that stuff is STRONG!! Very good adhesion and holds the ballast perfectly.

You may want to look into capacitors/error cancellers to avoid any flickering or error codes - These are supplied with most GM specific kits nowadays.
