okay here are a few pics, they arnt the best becasue I took them with my blackberry but they are decent lol. As you can see its hardly notciable from inside the engine bay. The ballast are in the fenders. and the DRL bypass is the little black box with the red wire connections going to it. there is one on each side, the only part of the battery reley harness that you can see from under the hood is by the battery where it hooks up all the rest is zip tied under the plastic tray above the ic and radiator.

The DRL relays really work with our cars? The plug and play ones?

It's only 4 wires x 2 harnesses? So 8 all together?
After that, Can you just turn on and off the headlights anytime with no issues?

all you need to get from intense hid is the kit itself and the battery reley harness, all that dose is allow you to power the hids with the car battery which is safer. Then go to your local auto parts store to pick up 2 40amp releys that have 4 prongs like pictured above. DRLS GONE, HELLO HIDS

How is the slim ballast? Is it worth it? Is there adequate spacing with the regular ballast?

Do you have the regular ballast?

And would you upgrade to the slimmer one after installing it?

I got the normal ballast and there is more than enough room if you put it like I did in the fenders.

With the hid battery harness will that delete the drl? Or is it just a relay switched off the drl stock harness and the hid will be always on when you turn on the car?

If possible can you show what the harness look like?

And has anyone have heat problems with running hid in the fog lights? Like melting the fog light it self or over heating and having the house exploded?

the harness itself wont bypass the DRLS. you have to cut two wires like I did above, refer to the diagam its easy takes 20 min tops

Ok is there other options? Of drl fit? I dont really want to cut into the stock harness yet lol still have warranty... I am sorry dont really get the diagram dont really see how it wired up and how it runs??

I am thinking 6000k low beam and 4000k fog...

Now i was also thinking that i should run a relay harness for the fog lights as well?

The diagam says this in simple terms,

Find the red/white wire to the 9006 bulb, cut it, add butt concectors to new wire to extend to relys, put one end of the cut red/white wire on the 87 prong, and the other on the 30 so it.bridges the connection, then splice into the blue wire from the parking light, lil orange bulb and put that on the prong as listed above. This triggers the rely to bypass the drl, and the ground goes w/e. Get what I'm saying? Do the same on the other side and your done, delaer has no problem with thid at least mine dosent the gm came out to check it out and he was like nice work Mike lol.
