I can see OEM quality far surpassing Ebay lights. our headlights are made pretty solid, and easy to adjust. if youv ever taken headlights apart you will see how just incredibly solid the OEM headlights are. Simple design, but built well and they get the job done for a non projector headlight. if you want a projection headlight, you have to settle for lesser quality lights. These depot lights seem to be alright, on par with the other gen lights but with no LED's and Halo's, which just means more simple and less things to go wrong adn cause you to have to replace them.

Wonder if the lens gets stress cracks over time?

i have a set of gen 2's that i dissasembled and put OEM lenses on. OEM lenses are tinted, and are much heavier and thicker then aftermarket lenses

I'm in complete agreeance with you on this thread. Let the kids be!

Halogen lights in Halogen housing, no HID's in Halogen housing ...

Retrofit or bust.

Just placed my Gen 4 order...I got the chrome ones because I think it looks more OEM...plus if I ever want black I can just paint them anyways...plus they were about $50 cheaper than the black ones...$111 instead of $168.

No need to flame as I could flame you easily from multiple angles just as I shut down your argument.

... i am in no way rich ...
... we all know how rich i am ...
What?

Last time I checked, Mitsubishi had crap durability, appearance, AND reliability.

2009 Mitsubishi Reliability Ratings
U.S. News
Reliability: 5.0 / 10.0

Yahoo Autos
Overall Quality: 2 stars / 5 stars
Powertrain Quality: 2 stars / 5 stars
Body and Interior Quality: 2 stars / 5 stars
Features and Accessories Quality: 2.5 stars / 5 stars

Where is your quality now? I forgot to add
Headlights: 7.0 / 5.0

You want real quality? None of that mitsubishi crap. Get Honda and Toyota. Thats where real quality is.

You come here for the community? As in what, trying to make friends on cobalt forums because you cannot on your own Evo forums?

You need to quit being a follower of your own mind. You fail to realize the truths out there, not only on this forum, but in the world. I have provided hard evidence from multiple perspectives and sources and you have provided your own "opinions" as your backup sources.

Seeing you are in the military (respect to you) and hopefully are intelligent. But you seem flame when you are pinned down in a corner as you are now. That is a trait of weak minded and incapable individuals.

I lied, here is the flame:
Incapable of succeeding in the real world, which is why you are probably in the military because you lack the knowledge and/or skills to succeed elsewhere. You do what no one else wants to do, at least you are not lazy.

Looking at the type of language you used in previous posts, you seem to only know about 10 words. 9 of them being offensive/vulgar language. I have yet to use any.

Hopefully you have a dictionary to understand some words I posted, and maybe you can differentiate between DURABILITY and APPEARANCE. Because mitsubishi is an ALL AROUND CRAP car, not said by me, said by the world.

You fight for America but do not support American companies, instead you discourage them. So who are you again?
pinned down in a corner... by you? goddamn you must be the dumbest **** on this forum...

funny, you think your vernacular is much larger than mine because i choose not to show off by using words i dont need to? haha i guarantee you all my college placement exam scores were much higher than yours, and lets not forget the military placement exam aka ASVAB.

you place of argument stems from information you find on the internet, how can you call yourself smart when all you can do is reference what other people have determined? show me 10 satisfied GMAC customers and i'll show you 30 satisfied Mitsubishi customers, dont argue with me about quality when your STILL driving a cobalt. GMAC is known for their crap quality, why make it even worse by installing worse quality parts? *******.

whats great about your post is how you reference be american, buy american... if you were any less of an idiot you might have tried harder to make sense of that statement. take a wild guess as to how many countries have produced parts for that AMERICAN car your driving? America has so many trade agreements being import mainly with other countries the 2 biggest being Canada and the other China in that order. So how can you say be american, buy american to someone who has done more for this country than you ever have in your waste of an existance? dont try to belittle me buy saying i am unamerican when this car i drive was produced by a different country and shipped and sold in america. hmmm now who gets the revenue for that? as with all the other millions of foreign products we see everyday...

your arguments are so retarded that i shouldnt have even responded, but you being Mr. Britannica with your wealth of knowledge and american pride, how could i not?

i do this job because like so many other americans i chose to. i wasnt forced to nor was i scared to.

next time learn to shut the **** up.

Here's the Chrome ones for $111 + $60 Shipping = $171
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...item45f03d5494


Here's a different set of Gen 4 Chrome ones for $159 + $39 shipping = $198
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COBAL...item1c0f4583f6


Here's the Black ones for $169 + $39 Shipping = $208
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COBAL...item19b90b9ee0


Here's a different set of Gen 4 black ones for $185 + $35 Shipping = $220
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-09...item255839fdf2

No clue why there's so much fluctuation in price...Guess it's just luck of the draw at what they're priced at when you're looking to buy.
