What's everyones opinion on projector headlights becoming standard on all cars including the cobalt. It seems to be a "trickling technology" seeing that there are more and more cars with them. Post up and vote on the pole i threw on for fun.

 

first vote. i think it would be great. i'd like to see wat chevy would do with our headlights to have projectors standard.

 

They would probably jack one of the designs that our fellow members have created.

 

I would love for gm to do it on the balt. Unfortunently i am convinced gm will never do it on thier lesser models. That is saved for caddy and corvette it seems. Meh, it would be sweet but gm is to half assed to do it

 

They'd probably factor it into the price at like $700 list lol.. but it'd save me ******* around with them.. buying the headlights, then the hid kits, plus the time to install and aim them is probably just shy of that amount. But then again I like being able to pick my car out of a crowd of cobalts.

 

mehhh i dunno...some people just have no need for them if they live in the city. and most people just dont care. my .02

 

I would be willing to pay the extra buck for them but you have to think about the whole cobalt community. Most people who own them arn't into modding so what's the need for projectors. I know they give better visbility but relectors work just fine. Which really is the case on all cars. But if they just came stock with the car and no need to have to pay extra for them, kick ass!

 

i think it would be a bad idea.. its kinda the whole point of your car bein different from others thats around.

 

I prefer a projector arrangement , just because it looks so much nicer and u can give the front of the car more personality .

....but ultimately

Its not really just GM , theres lots of OEM's that dont use them . FWIW ...most of the new GM stuff coming out or soon to be released has used a projector arrangement . Buy a 1 , 3 , 5 series BMW or most audi's without HID's and u still get regular headlight reflectors .

 

umm i hate projectors their ****...now if we have hids that woulda be a completely different story

 

Dont you need projectors to use hids...(?)

 

the whole point of a projector is that they use H.I.D.

 

here let me clarify, the projectors the only ones that are offered for our cars ARE ****...their the cheapest ****** headlights made for our cars even cheaper than the stockers which is sad... Now with that said i didnt say the point of a projectors i just said that it would be better to have a housing such as a stock headlight that isnt a projector headlight retrofitted into hids such as the ones on my car....

yes but the projectors for our cars right now are **** i have had two sets and they have failed me both times... thats why im saying stock retrofitted headlights are better

 

i think your missing the point dude. we are talking factory projectors. not some cheap ones.

 

as read in one of the posts someone said that gm would probably take the projectors that are basically on the market right now because they are so cheap lol and produce them with hids in them, thats when i say no.... Now i would def. say yes if they are what we are both talking about

 

Thank you.

 

they said they would prolly rip one of the members retrofit designs. not cheap ebay ones

here ya go.

 

I said that GM will mostlikly steal one of the designs that you guys have made retrofitting hids into the stock housing and make them standard.....

 

oops my bad i misread then but yah then i agree with you i guess thats what u get from working a 11 hour shift and then coming on here to read

 

i worked 16 and am still tarp as a shack. lolz

 

Whats that saying about excuses and ********. J/K.

 

lol what do u do though??

 

melt glass in a glass factory. hot, physical work

 

yah factory work sucks ass, i work at car quest picking up truck rotors all ****** day haha...
