Got off work and installed them. Was pretty straight forward for me. Took me about an hour, including time to mount the relays and ballasts.







Better pics to come. Hopped on installing my friends HIDs right after.

HID Digital Systems. My friend paid too much for it on his 2004 Impala SS. He didnt even mount the ballasts and let them dangle...but was confused when one of them broke. I replaced the ballasts with ZENEX ones, yes cheap, but I have friends with those and no flicker issues/have not needed to replace them yet.

Edit: I forgot to mention. He gave me his kit because I traded him for other stuff. Haha.

Looks good man :beer:

What wattage and temperature are the bulbs? Looks like 6000k?

35w, 8000k I believe. Thanks!

Fun fact: I used to want the 2008-2012 LTZ 10 spoke rims on my car...because of seeing the 2006-2009 SS rims on yours, I think I am going to go with them haha.

Nice! Plan on doing the fogs?

I personally think the SS wheels look better on lighter colored impalas. I've seen a black 04 SS with the 8th gen SS wheels on it, and it looked a little off IMO. Then again if you did them in black, it would probably look a lot better. I like the LTZ wheels though too, especially in black

Definitely would be black. Haha. I love the 10 spokes. I am having a harder time finding them around here than I am the SS wheels.

...would I get flamed if I said I kinda like the impala emblem in the grill? Dont think I would do it though.

Naw, I like the impala emblem there, but if it were me, I'd put a black billet grille and like a black chrome impala.

The black wheels (no matter which ones you choose) will look sick :eek:k3:
