HID conversion on GSR non-SSS
this is the solution for you guys wanting to install an HID convertion.
I have been running this HID convertion kit in my non-projector housing with no problem. it completely disables the DRL, well sort of. it's got a safety thing when it senses voltage below 5volts or above 32volts it disables the ballasts. works perfect for those that doesn't want their DRL.
here's the link: http://www.ddmtuning.com/ap55wwesa.html
I'm currently running their 55W 5k and love it
: and it's only 70 bucks for 55W or 55 bucks for 35W w/ a lifetime warranty. definitely recommended. and no need for those fixes you guys are having. only downside is you have to turn on your headlights before releasing the handbreaks or it won't turn on for night driving. you'd have to completely shut off the car to turn on the lights again. just gotta get used to it. hope this ends everyone's dillema of having to deal with DRL.
From DDM Tuning website:
Apexcone is a 3/4 size ballast kit. It is a fully digital ballast and integrated ignitor design that has an analog under/over voltage input circuit that does two things. First of course, it senses the input voltage from your car and will shut the ballast off if the incoming voltage is below 9V or above 32V. Its second function is that as the lights are starting up, the circuit functions to act as a stand-in for the bulb during computer self checks. While this works on early detection circuits like those on most BMWs, there are some car makes like Mercedes and Chrysler that use more advanced self diagnostics and those may require the BOW-3 Bulb Out Warning Adapters. But when operating normally, the ballast is totally digital and works amazingly well with all the speed and arc control accuracy of a fully digital design to ensure long bulb life. Contains your choice of low beam bulbs (H1, H7, 9006, H11, etc) in the color of your choice. Ballasts are our absolutely Rock Solid Apexcone 35W or 55W ballasts. Of course this product comes with our Lifetime Warranty.

Is this kit a direct plug and play? do I need to buy any other things ?

Again, only way to turn on the hids, after you've released the parking brake, is to shut down the car, pull the hand brake up, and turn on the headlights before letting go of the parking brake again. I know it's a hassle, but I can live with it rather than burning your hid bulbs due to DRL. Or you can buy one of those fix.
This kit is plug and play.
You mean when the e-brake is let off? They would start up perfectly like if you had flicked them on the on position
I guarantee these will work perfectly or your money back !
You can even check some of the ones i have sold on here on my itrader

Does this mean that yours also requires them to be turned on before the emergency brake is released? My wife sometimes drives the car and this will cause a whole bunch of problems..not the least of which is why my 30K+ car can't have the lights turned off and on without restarting the car.
