Like those ARE the turn signals or do you just keep the signal behind the reflector?

Got these finished for GreenySC2. Getting them open originally was a pain they werent butyl seal. So warning to everyone don't buy new GM cobalt headlights unless you want a fight.

I want this!!

If im going to do some retro's, do I just need to buy some projectors, and shrouds?

I have bi-xenon HID's, and am looking at some used cobalt/g5 headlights to buy for them.

On the retrofit source site there are some nice projectors and shrouds in closeout section: The Retrofit Source | Innovative Headlight Upgrades

Am I missing anything?

I'm open to suggestion. I figured I needed something for a "bi-xenon" setup for the lights and brights?

If this is your first time. I can sell you a DIY kit. Comes with everything you need to make a retrofit set. All you need is headlights and tools with some elbow grease.
The kits I sell are put together for ease of install. No headaches when it comes to choosing what to get. Wiring is pre wired so it's plug and play.

Bi xenon means high and low beams.

I could've told you that one..

just an FYI, all the aftermarket headlights use the same shitty sealant, which becomes a massive PITA

After I got them I found the sealant thread on hidplanet noting that. Figured out how to get them open but it def is not easy.

My right side headlight has heavy condensation in it for some reason, but I just can't seem to find the motivation to take it off the car and take it apart.
