I think they would be sweet lookin on the cobalts. My only concern would be how well the housing is made. IE does it get that moisture build up inside? But for $299 I would hope not.

I see one big issue with those lights...dual beam projector? Doesn't the Cobalt use a 9007 bulb which works as both the low and high beam? Not sure how you'd get a dual beam projector setup to work on this car. Unless the other one is just for show, which seems kinda dumb to me.

Also most aftermarket projector lenses I've seen have been crap...they have a worse light output than the stock housing and aren't sealed properly.

I dare someone to try them though

They have a wiring harness built into them where you plug in your stock headlight harness and it converts it to a 2 bulb system.

Those aren't bad but in my opinion they are a little too busy looking. I am going to wait until they make a simpler looking model without the halos and the other LED's and crap. Hopefully they will make them with a black background too.

The Angel eye/Halo things are so played out. I think that those lights have too much going on. Also the light output on those will suck.

Its awesome that people are making parts for the cobalt though!

Well your celica projectors were made by Bosch or Hella, or a reputable lighting manufacterer. These lights won't be using a big manufacterer's projectors. On these ebay projectors, they always use cheapo plastic projectors.

^^^Yes they can

Price out a set of Celica Headlights from your dealer and compare the prices. That will show you the quality difference. All of these headlights along with the APC projectors for other vehicles all suck. They are meant for show purposes and nothing more.

Don't get me wrong, the lense on the projector itself is glass, but these companies don't have an R&D team working on projectors for ebay if you know what I mean.

yes, but celica projectors are HID xenon projectors and these are only halogen rated, i want to get some xenon projectors anyways and if i got this kit i wouldnt have to spend the extra money on bi-xenon setup.

I had no idea the celicas came with xenon lighting? Anyways, the celica projectors that had halogen bulbs in them are not backwards compatible with D2S xenon bulbs. Its one or the other.
