Gen 4's, here i come

as the title says, im gonna get a set simply because of the fact that the local chevy dealer is full of idiots... basically i took my car in for a fuel pump to be replaced (covered under the 60k powertrain warranty) and the catalytic converter (currently on recall). They moved the car, and whoever was driving it "forgot" to put on the ebrake, and the car rolled into another causing the passenger side front bumper to **** up and cracked the lens on the passenger headlight... so basically i told em to fix the bumper and cut me a check for the headlight since they wont match when i get it back... a stock headlight goes for $260 anyways.. u guys know where i can get a good price for the gen 4? and please dont say ebay.. thanks in advance

Wasnt talking to you genius (and he was referring to his stockers)


I have been playing this game since 2006, I know whats crap and whats quality, Im not trying to be rude or sound arrogant , just blunt.

All Im trying to say is, take a look set of 2 year old chinese projectors Next to a set of 2 year old gm stock headlights.

I don't know about *Florida*...so far so good in So Cal with Moderns (DEPOS). According to
Modern, Depo has improved the plastic. I have driven the car a couple thousand Mi on these..700 Mi on flat out long trips up north included (read..*Hi Speed*). No problems at all..look like new so far.

you do realize all of those problems have been alleviated when people start with HIDS instead of the bulbs they come with

you posted the same reasons 3 times lol you said fading peeling cracking.. all of which were supposedly addressed by depo.. and for MOST people if they started with HIDS they didnt have the issue

so why are you still posted

so you had a problem with your lights.. I know people that've had problems with their stock headlights fogging cracking and peeling.. does that mean that someone shouldn't buy gm ever again and all their products are ****?

6000k HID and Type 1 6000k Switchback corners. Direct plug and play unless you HID or have Resistors installed depending on where you wired them (OEM harness or directly to car wiring)
