i think your best bet for the "simple" LED replacement would be ebay... or wait for someone to post up where an actual site is

hey thanks for the response, here is a link to the actual lights found out what kind they were. http://www.spyderauto.com/20052007-c...hts-p-282.html. Someone else got back to me to inform me that the led's that come with these headlights already have a blueish tint to them, so I just need to replace them with the same ones that came with them. Anyone else have these headlights? from what I've seen they are pretty popular among cobalts.

1st and 3rd gens come without the halos and LED's wired up. IF you want those to work, you need to tap the wires into the parking lamp wire.

Is there a good guide (maybe buried somewhere in this thread) for wiring up 3rd gen ones?

Do these headlights need anything to work other than to be wired correctly? All the talk of HID kits is confusing me...not sure if they're just for people wanting different color/intensity or if the headlights are actually missing...light.

Need some opinions here. One of the leds on my third gens just burnt out (or quit working, whatever). I disconnected the rest of them, and I think they look a hell of a lot better, and not as cheesy as they did before. Tell me what you think.

Before


After

Can I see a picture of the low beams turned on with the LED's and the halos unwired (turned off)? I think this would look the least cheesy and ricey.

I think CCFL halos need ballasts, at least that's what I've been told. I think that's what those are for. are the halos wired to it?
Edit: I just looked closer at the picture. That's definitely what it is.

But I've read in another thread that the earlier CCFL's didn't have these boxes. Then again you're probably right

Does anybody have the black LED tail lights on a coupe? The reason I ask is because when I see the pics, they don't look all that black, but I've never seen a pic of them on a car. The look more red than the smoke ones do. Then I look at the sedan style ones and they're black as can be. I really want LED tails with black housings because I got pulled over when I had niteshades on my stock tails. I was thinking of getting LEDs and tinting them hoping that the LEDs would shine brighter through the niteshades, but if they have nice black ones I could avoid the whole niteshades bit altogether. I'm pretty sure the picture earlier in the thread had smoked ones, so if anyone has black ones, a pic would really be appreciated.

Ok so I'm driving an 06 Cobalt SS SC. Black. I currently have 6000k HID's. Lows/Fogs. But I think I would enjoy the black 3rd gen halo projectors. What do yall think about that?
