Ummm, is this a survey without the survey thingy up top?:laugh: Really, why would they spend more money on it and not tell us up front? Not to mention without spreading out the cost over a lot of vehicles would make it really expensive to put on just the GXP, of which there wont be a lot of made.:wink2:

I don't think it will guys. As most of you probably know, HID/Xenon is only available on the LWB Holden cars which have a different shape headlight assembly.

On a personal note, I've been running HIDs for a while now but I'm going back to stock, I'm admitting defeat. Why? It seems the VEs don't like HIDs. My car has gone through two passenger side lights (in one year) and my Moms has gone through one (in about 18 months). They just don't seem to last, no matter what the quality :(

gonna have to agree, i doubt they'd engineer a completely new headlamp assembly just for the one model.

I hope they do - but it wouldn't really matter because they would be swapped out witk 6000k in a flash! (But it would be much easier to just change a bulb than have to install the ballast and everything!)
