Question HID headlights

Where should I get a set of hid headlight. Looking at the 3rd gens. Now sure if I should get this kit:

https://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt...1076&catid=180

because it looks like it just comes with the headlight and nothing else.

Or should I buy a kit like this from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-09...Q5fAccessories

I want to make sure I have the relay harness and the ballast.

Let me know what you guys think? I want this to be my first mod. Had my car for a year, but since I had to finish up my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry then I lost track of plans to mod. Fortunately, making some extra spending money after meeting my goals for saving money. I LOVE MY COBALT SS/SC...the dealer wants to buy it back and sell me a 2010 ss/tc...NOPE!

The ZZP one does not include a HID kit

The ebay one includes a HID kit

I think you should get gen 4 projectors

Keep your original headlights for when the lens decides to start cracking. Swap the lens on the aftermarkets with the originals...

This backorder thing is true, jim (the owner) has been receiving a high amount of orders lately and his factory is having issues keeping up with it
