You can find a relay harness on line to do this. Hooks up to the battery.

Otherwise it's completely plug and play. They look great on the car too, I've had them on for probably a year now.

Feel free to use my pictures anywhere!!!
those are so ill, i have the silver ss too, saw these and IMMEDIATELY bought 'em. went to the actual K2MOTOR website to get them though cuz they arent on ebay anymore.. so anyone lookin for these go to Car Accessories, Auto Accessories, Headlights, Tail Lights, Projector Headlights | K2 Motor and search cobalt... they were only $149 on sale!!

IPCW tail lights, they have been painted matte black since, which looks 100% better. will have more pics soon with 4th gen headlights, painted tails, and new rims. took me a while to like them cause the inners poke out, but got used to them and i like that both inner and outer blink with turn signal, both light up with lights, and the get really bright. plus installation is cake

lights on

Just to clarify, the gen 1s and the gen 3s that I can get from buyhids are originally coming from the same company? Like is the quality any better? I like the gen 3s but I would be pissed if I bought them just to have heat cracks etc a year or two later. I live in buffalo so it gets really cold, not sure if this would lessen the chances of that happening

^^^^AND, they definately have the LED ring around the brake lights, with a center LED that lights while braking (i think lol) and they look awesome, only thing to worry about is that when i got mine, one of the posts was broken off on one of the lights, and another post broke off during installation. no real biggy though everything worked out ok

Mine will be here Friday. I can't wait. I think they will look awesome on Tintcoat Sport Red. I really like them on silver too. Someday, I would love to find a 4 door in silver.
