Just got a Cobalt

Hey guys, I just bought a 2007 Cobalt SS/SC yesterday, and am going to get the projector headlights. I was wondering what size bulbs fit in them if I get HIDs. In your opinions, what are the best temp HIDs for the low beams, and for the high beams. I was thinking 6000K for low beams, but dont know what to put for highs, if any. I understand that the fog lights are H1 bulbs correct? What do most of you put in your fogs for HID?

Thanks.

Projectors use H1

Fog lamps are H11

6k is a good choice for lowbeams.
I think HID in the high beam is overkill.
just use some decent halogens in there.

6k, or 8k if you have a thing for the blue tint...

HID hi-beams are kinda a waste, same with HID fogs...

Absolutely. And HID in the fogs is WAY overkill, considering they are a short range light. And if i'm correct, HID bulbs are too long to fit in the foglight housing.
Check it out, 6000K Onex HIDs in my chrome Projectors.
