Projector Headlights

[Slýter]

Hey I found some projector headlights, that I think would look pretty sick on my cobalt. I'm going to put some HIDs with it as well. Amazon says its compatible with 05-07 anyone know if they will work or if anyone knows of a site i can get em for my 08 balt. Or if you know of some nicer looking projector lights that I could put in my car.

The 1st set you posted are 3rd gens never was really a fan they just look awkward, the 2nd set are 1st gens, I have a set of them just need to repaint the eyebrow so its not purple and slam em on my car. Also I fitted these with HIDs and CCFL rings as the LED ones sucked. The shavings are because I was lazy and didnt take the lense off when I was modifying the bulb area to fit HIDs.

Some more questions. You guys know of any heat issues with projectors and HID's? Do you use HIDs for Low beams and Halogen for High Beam. or do you use HID's for both. Also I was talking to a tech guy from K2Motor and he said he didn't suggest using HID's with the projectors with Halo rings, you guys ever have any issues with the halo rings and HID's?

HID are a lower wattage and put off less heat. He doesn't recommend them because you have to modify the projector housing to allow the bulb to fit in it.

if the bulb doesn't fit then it isn'T suppose to go there
like trying to fit a H4 in a 9007 socket, it fits (i know i tried lol) but not enough clearance, the bulb hit the refelctor (the parts hiding the bulb in the housing)

Want give a quick explanation on what to do to modify them?. I have a set, done a lot of looking and cant find any good post about. found one about 2 or so years old, seemed really good, but vids and pics put up on it are no longer available.....and yes mine a gen 1

what do you want to modify

I need to make so I can actually see my lights on the road at night. the only time I can really see them is if the road has nobody else on them.....i think what yellow eye did to the lense is what I need to do, just not sure how, size of bit, or where at to drill in the lense....i

ya i got gen 3 . aint a big fan of the bulbs it came in i was gonna try to hid in them but it looks like i can mess them up . im gonna try to get brighter bulbs at a autostore if i can for the headlights and get hid fog lights . i dont need to mod the foglights to get the bulbs in there right ?

I wonder if the gen 2's have the same problem with the HID bulbs......I am thinking about putting my stocks lights back on, and just blinding people. Its better than not being able to see well....
