Headlight help
One of my HIDs popped and so the walls of the headlight are burnt above the bulb and the whole headlight is now hazed. I tried sanding and cleaning with a lens cleaning kit but the problem was clearly on the inside, also the previous owner must have sealed the headlights with caulk or something, so i'll just order a new one along with some HIDs. My question is, I don't know if these headlights are OEM or not. I bought the car used not really knowing much about cobalt SS'
08 SS/TC if that matters any. Below are some pictureshttps://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cob...49d3f2a745.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cob...089b300739.jpg |
Those are stock style housings. Could be OE or aftermarket, but that's how they look from the factory.

OEM style for sure
they almost look clear and not tinted so they might be aftermarket or non-SS lensses |

If you're running HID's please consider getting projector headlights. DEPO Gen4's are fairly nice.

Yup. They also do a better job focusing the light from a HID. Regular halogen headlights blind oncoming traffic.

Modern Performance has them. Right now all they have new is the black housings it seems, or the chrome ones they do have are "b" grade(used) and half price.

Are they just plug and play? As long as I have HIDs?
