I found a oem hid/ballast on ebay for $140. I'm going to remove the bumper and replace my bad passenger side then take my new bumper to maaco and get paint. 2 birds one stone

Hey so I can go to autozone and just grab some 9006 bulbs and they will do? Im working on my headlights as we speak! Need confirmation asap plz my internet is out and my phonr data plan is limited due to my 2gb overage so I cant confirm myself.

Yes they will but not with out a little bit of work. First you have to unplug the ballast from the wiring harness and feed the plug up to the headlight area. (The plug is for a 9006 bulb) 2nd problem is that you have to figure a way to mount the bulb to the headlight assy. There is no mounting provision for the 9006 bulb in the OEM HID Headlight Assembly. You could get a 9006 bulb retainer from another headlight assy and figure a way to mount it to the HID headlights. The easiest method would have to obtain a set of standard headlights and then all you need to do is unplug the connector from the harness and plug it into the back of the headlight.

bulbs in, and im happy

I bought reg bulbs but go figure my wiring or "piggy tail" on the passenger side is bad. I have to borrow a electric pen tester and figure which problem it is. I already had a metal bracket holding my old HIDs with silicon to keep moisture out so I dont have to buy new headlights.
**** this stupid truck. I absolutely hate how gmc could be so selfish and make a design like this!

I have to resell or try to get my refund on ebay for the oem hid I bought because I found out we cut the old bulb off, so I didnt have one good HID left as expected. Fmllll
Anybody want to buy a oem hid for the diamond edition?
