If I order a D2S kit from DDM tuning, all I need to do is unplug the old ballast, plug the connector into the new one correct?

I have never changed HID lights on a car that has them stock.
Nope, you need to put in new bulbs and ballasts. You will probably need some 9006 female conectors as well with just leads coming off them. GL

Do stock HID bulbs degrade in brightness over time? I just got a 04 GSR w/ SSL and stock HIDs look really dim compared to my new bimmer...

If so, where are you getting quality replacement bulbs aside from OEM ripoff..? thx

Your bmw most likely has 55w projectors. Evos have 35w projectors. That's why there is a noticeable difference in light output.
