As anyone installed these ebay kits. If so, can I get installation advice. I am considering buy one. I cant decide on the black or chrome projectors. I have a 2008 Cobalt LT Special Edition Copue silver w/ black racing stripes. I am also a noobie, so please be nice.

 

But welcome anyways.
Do you have a link? Are they the standard halos or CCFL?

 

Here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-0...spagenameZWDVW. This is just one of the many available.

 

There's a few of us with halos, and hids. And some with these bundles.

Here's some info on the install, but i don't know what happened to the pics.

I personally have the Chrome Halos, and HID H1 kits, and they are fantastic. Best $ spent on lighting ever. (SilverStar Ultra Highs, and SilverStar signal lights as well)

Dusk, lights off

Dusk, lights on

 

that is BA!! so do you not have the bundle off ebay or do you??

 

I don't, i purchased Halos and Onex HIDs (6000K) through NGA Motorsports, and Uneek respectivley, in Group Buys.

 

thanks guys i appreciate the help. i will probably go with the chrome projectors.

 

I was interested in buying this preassembled HID + projector bundle on ebay. Subscribed.

 

I have the chrome projectors. But I dont have the HIDs yet. Hopefully someday.

Good Luck w/ your install.

 

I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully its not to bad. I plan on getting them in a few weeks.

 

Just bought the prewired 6000k HID's in Black...I will keep you posted. I hope to have them ready to go in a week or two.

 

I am very interested in how your installation goes. I will be checking back often.

 

Sup guys, got them in the mail today. The install looks like it's going to be easy. The harness is plug and play with the stock harness..the only issue with where to mount the box thing (ballast?) that powers the HID's. The wiring looks good, I may modify based on what lights are on all the time.

The best part: The idiots I bought them from on ebay sent me the new CCFL Halo projectors with the HID kit instead of the generation 1 halo projectors I paid for. Their loss. SWEET.

I have to research the install a bit here, and haven't decided if I'm going to wait for the weather to get nicer. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

 

Awesome, bro. Keep us updated and TAKE PICS!!! I'm planning on getting this kit too, so I wanna see if it's actually worth it or not...

 

You can mount the ballasts right below the headlights. There is enough room there, thats where mine are.

 

^^the spot right there under the headlight mount is perfect. Just make sure you buy some self tapping machine screws as the frame is boxed there and you can't get your hand underneath to put the nut on the bolt.

Good news and bad news. The install is easy. Get a 10mm wratchet, a drill, and those screws. The problem is that one of the damn lights won't fire up. The halos and blinker work fine, but either the ballast or the bulb is burnt. I plugged in the driver's side light and it works just fine..and looks friggen great btw. I'm going to swap the ballast from the good light onto the other to see if it fires. If it fires, I need a new bulb. I just wrote the seller to see if they'll send me the stuff to fix it. I'll keep you posted.

there's a Pic on the last post here:

I want to get the black housing projectors possibly and i currently have mccullough HIDS. think there will be a problem fitting?

 

the projector lights have the h1 except the ccfl which comes with an h7 i think and if you got hids on your factory lights then thats a different bulb 9007 or 9006 cant really remember.. that wont work.. you'd have to get a different hid set up for the projector lights...

 

yeah i got the 9007s, damnit. ah well maybe ill run across a retrofit on the stockers for a decent price somewhere...

 

you could always get a different set of hids from ebay for a good price.. dont know if they are worth buyin though.. im prob gonna order a set of em for my projectors and find out how good they are.. maybe i wont just be wastin money when i get em..

 

sounds like ur ballast isnt igniting ur bulb, if ur bulb was bad, it would probably flicker and turn green lol (happened to me)

 

kinda iffy on the ebay hids ya know? i got McCulloughs now and theyre pretty reputable. Might just stick it out with them

 

will i loose the daytime running lights if i install the projectors and the hid kit.

 

^^^^^^^^^^ yes

 

what if i dont install the hid and just installed the projectors. i really would hate to loose the daytime running lights or the auto function.
