Hey man sorry I didnt get to u , I was gonna answer all the headlamp PM's this weekend , I got ALOT

Theres a few threads I posted below that will tell ya all ya need to know . I dont have anywhere near a $1000 in them as I did all the labor myself . I have about 340 bux in parts , mainly because I got the deal of the century on a pair of these Astra lights complete with everything for 175 bux on ebaymotors in the united kingdom . The came with the bulbs and ballast attached a still , had all the plugs to fab into mine , wiring ect , it was a phenomenol find for the cash . I have yet to see another set for sale . You cant even buy good bi-xenon projectros with wiring/ bulbs /ballasts ect for that in the states .

Heres the thread on how I made them , second one is all the finished pics .

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pictures-videos-64/done-astra-bi-xenons-lotso-pics-71203/

They look just a lil different now . I took them apart and re-did the little sidemarker parking light . Instead of an out of place looking strip od LED's , its a small boomerang shape now with a actual reflector and lens . Blend SOOOOO much better .

Heres the result of that .

OLD parking light


NEW style ...3 led's light the fabbed reflector inside .

Not even remotely close . The Astra Headlamp is HUGE compared to ours . The Saturn Astra light looks almost identical , but its not HID and uses a halogen projector and the side circle light next to the projector has a textured reflector with a 3157 bulb , which is ugly imo . So the US lights wont be very good for swapping .
