ok guys i have been asking a lot of questions about HID'S lights i really love how they look and i really want to get them, but some people dont recommend them for cobalts, they say that they burnout to quickly and that they wont last cuz there not maid for cobalts. But some people say that there good. Seriously i do not know what to do so i really need your help on this one guys. Its up to you guys if i should get them or not and were a good place to get them? THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!!

 

um...burnout because its in a cobalt? i dont think the light knows its in a cobalt and not a mercedes and decides to burn out...HIDs are nice..i plan on doing some in mine as soon as i can afford for silverss/sc to make me some custom lights

 

If you are going to use HID's on your cobalt you need to get proper headlights for them. The stock headlights are made for halogen bulbs, and you will blind oncoming traffic with HID's in your stock housings.

You will want to use headlights with projectors, there are a couple options here, 1 is retrofitting projectors into your stock housings, the other is to buy one of the 2-3 styles of projector housings off E-bay.

Next, you will need to buy an HID kit, there are tons of them on ebay, some are good, most are junk. That is usually where you run into issues of ballests failing & lights not working. You can get an OK set for $140 on ebay, and they should outlast any halogen bulbs you buy & be brighter too.

 

its not that i know i guy who has a well known auto part store in my home town and he knows a lot about automotive parts and he tells me that he wont recommend them in my car because the car wont support it and that its not ment for these type of cars.

How do you know which ones are good in Ebay?

 

Im sorry, but your "friend" doesnt know what he is talking about

 

theres plenty of memebers with them and going strong..if thats not proof enough i dont know what is

 

am guessing the ones he sells are cheap, so whats a very good brand of HID'S.

 

vision,xenon i think..for the most part..u get what u pay for..

 

He may sell quality products, he may not. Hella, & Stanley Bosch are what most OEM cars come with for HID's, those kits run upwards of $450.

I got my kit from ebay, it comes with a 3yr warrenty & i've been very pleased with it

 

reign did u get the headlight and hid kit?...im thinking of paying silverss/sc for those astra lights

 

No, i got the projectors & the HIDs at different times... I dont think silverss is going to sell his. I know Jackalope used to do retros for $200+parts, and Mercury wrote an awesome howto on doing it yourself

 

no i talked to him on making me some
