Question Deal or No Deal

Well i have been looking around for headlights for a few montths, and i was on ebay looking for some and seen these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...79715224QQrdZ1
, Do you think it comes with the wire harness? cause this is a good price for the headlights, let me know what you think. or where i can get the headlights with everything needed for a good cheap price.

I used to like those headlights until it seemed like everybody was buying them. You can't customize your car if everybody has the same stuff as you.

NGA has a group buy going right now on them for $200 - $225 depending on how many people order them. I believe that includes shipping as well

I got mine on Ebay for 280 shipped, so the price is good. Mine have never fogged, and I haven't had any problems. I guess it all depends whether you trust Ebay or not...

Whats the difference between the Ebay ones and the ones on Cobalt Addiction??? Besides buying from someone who is on here, and ability for customer service, etc. Are they the same part?

Ok, theres a lot of confusion in here.

The halos are all made by the same company, it dosent matter if you buy them from ebay or cobalt addiction or Nga, their ALL THE SAME.

They come with the wiring harness, they literally plug right into your old headlight plug. Direct replacement. They even come with their own bulbs.

The only wiring you have to do is for the halo rings and the LEDs.

The fogging is not at all an issues. In the 2 or 3 months i've had them they've fogged twice and that was only when I high pressure washed them and used it on the light for like 3 mins. They have a lot of venting in the rear of the housing that allows some moisture to get in when you wash them, but the fogging goes away in a day (if that) and its not really a big deal.

IF your that worried about them you don't need to take them apart to seal them, just put a bead of silicone around the housing. And even if you did have to take them apart its not as complicated as the stock headlights.

I hope that cleared up the fog in here.

Theres vent holes in the back with little macaroni looking tubes to vent air, your stock headlights have venting too. They fog up for no less than an hour in 90% of cases.

You can hook up the led's and halos to anything you want.

Dude, its nothing really close to the stock headlights. The only thing they share are the shape, and like I said earlier its all in the design. They fog up barely, not even noticable and if you leave your lights on it clears up even quicker.

My halos are wired to my marker bulb in the headlight hosing, so when my headlights come on so do my halos.

Have you read what rally said? He's had them for 2-3 months and they've fogged twice... and only when he pressure washed the lights for an extended amount of time. Obviously they don't fog up every time he washes.

Mine have never fogged and I've had them for a month and a half.

I had this same fogging problem until I sealed the edges w/ automotive goop. It works better than silicone, and you dont have to take the headlights apart. Just smear some along the edges of the headlight assembly. As for cheap HID kits check out www.cqlight.ca Thats were I got mine from.

Thank You!! It seems like everyone beats around the bush on these things. I'm prolly gonna buy from NGA, but not until I hear some feedback on them.

So technically If I plugged them in without wiring anything up the turn signals and headlight will work? If i want to do the splicing I can but thats optional for the LED's and Halos?

The bulbs are H1, hows the light output? Should I probably go out and buy replacement bulbs including fog bulbs so they all match, or would the one that came with them suffice?
