The low beams are fine...they are just as good as the stock...I have new bulbs in my Projectors and the low beams are very nice...and the highs are great too.

No modification needed to make them fit...they fit just as good as the stock headlights.

I just put mine on this weekend so i have pics coming soon. Trying to get them lined up(big pain in the ass) but they are worth it. Light output is about 15-20% better and you can't beat a focused beam. High's are a big improvement as well. I had no problem with fitment and wireing was not hard. Took me about 30 mins to install but I'm an Gm trained mechanic that now works on fighter jets. Ther's not much I can't handle. I'll try and get you those pics this weekend, the headlights are realy awsome!

are these safe to use.. wouldn't the extra power from the halos and leds cause a fuse to blow or fry the light harness?

No...they definately use H1's for BOTH lows and highs...they're the same exact bulb.

I've changed mine out already...they're both H1's...even says so on the ebay auctions.

i believe the angel eyes are illuminated by an LED at the bottom so i doubt its any more leeching.

Here's the lights running daytime


Here's the Lights running w/ lowbeams


And Last but Not Least the High Beams


Turn signal (the white light to the left of the Led's up top) is supposed to be orange, i left the bulb white though, looks better imo

Lows are supposed to shut off when highs on - that is normal for cars.

Go to my car domain page to see a comparison between the H1 bulb that comes with the Halos and with LUMINICS ulta White bulbs.

OH and since your there can you rate my car and vote on my poll. the changes to the car have been made by listening to the poll if I got a decent # of total votes.

thanks.

These projectors make the Cobalt look way better. I think it would be awesome if someone would open them up and paint them to match their car.

I would also love to see someone install a set of my HALO HID H1 kits in the low beams.

If the HIDs go with the projectors and look good, I would be VERY interested to buy a set.

I just orderedm my halos 2 days ago, am expecting them to arrive soon.

I have thought about it but I like it black on a red car. I was worried about color matching as well. I am not doing it anytime soon.
