Yeah, but if chevy lights are like stock gmc lights, you'll have two blobs of light. El lightpattern no es bueno

I've been looking into them as well from what I've read most are straight hook up to battery so have to manually turn them on instead of computer controlled, can somebody chime in let me know just curious since these kits are pretty cheap

Plug ballast into stock harness connector, connect ballast to bulb.

Srs? The striated lenses don't glare like reflector lights, but the pattern is garbage. the chevy housing being thinner and wider might help I guess.

You can plug the stock headlight connectors straight into the ballasts. With the DDMs you may have to swap the two wires in the connector since the polarity is opposite. I did on my 01 Silvy.

I thought you just had to flip the stock connector upside down?
