Retrofit projectors in your oem housings... ~$1000.00
HID kit from ddmtuning.com... ~49.00
Both are awesome

I should've reworded it as "Low Beam projector only (no High-Beam) and no special/customized LED DRL's/Turn Signals"

I have an HID kit from ddmtuning.com on my Avalanche at it looks awesome... best $50 mod you can get if you ask me... Projectors are not mandatory, they just simply look badass... that's why Serge has em
It is blinding if you get the 55W kit. 35W is ample.
Personally I'm not a big fan of HIDs without the retro ... alignment is always touch and go and it isn't a huge step up in brightness than silverstars. It's my observation that folks put them on for the Kelvin color affect more than a huge step up in light output ... although I'm sure I'm gonna get yelled at for saying this.
The upshot with silverstars is that it's a simple bulb replacement ... no ballasts/harnesses needed. It's a quick and easy mod.

Really? I disagree. I got them for both kelvin color (6k... really ddmtuning.com gives you 7k) aka WHITE and I notice a huge difference in light output from my factory bulbs : /
I understand ... but one also notices a significant increase in light output from factory with Silverstars. But the output variation is much less significant from SS to HID sans retro.

Ah I see what you are saying. I still think an HID kit with a separate ballast is way better then two SS Bulbs
