Man, I don't want to start another HID thread....
Simply, don't buy an HID kit. They cause glare which believe it or not, blinds drivers in the other lane. This is because your stock Cobalt's headlamps WERE NOT designed to distribute HID light. Especially because on an HID bulb, there is no Highbeam/lowbeam. So when the HID bulb is in our lamp housing, it shines all over the place. If you really want HIDs and be legit, check out www.hidfourms.com and look into a retrofit.
