And you can take that Premium comment and shove it up your ass
Look at a pic of an SS/SC under hood, and you'll notice the rain guard flap on the driver side by the headlight.
Why?
If anyone is going to bitch, it would be me.
The guy is putting them in projectors... so why would I say anything bad?
the projectors are plug and play (they have a pre-made splitter harness which plugs into your existing harness. keep in mind however, that you DO have to wire for the LED's (not sure about the ccfl's on the newer gens tho)

Actually that's awesome because I don't want the LEDs anyway.. lol. Do the halos work automatically or do they get wired separately as well? I don't want those either. haha. So it automatically does the high low conversion? Plug n play and you're set?
the halo's are usually the same as the led's (keep in mind I have Gen I, and the other generations are only slightly different, but if you don't want the led's/halo's and they ARE connected...just cut their wires. lol and for me yes it came with an adapter for the headlights and that's all I needed.
I bought a $80 kit on ebay works grate, only took 1hr installed, would of been less but i got all the wires professionally soldered cuz b4 they where just twisted and taped together. but beside that works awesome! downside was when I had the kit installed I dunno if its the guys fault or just happen just same time he installed my kit but when i got the kit professionally installed my LEDs lights on one side went bad, 1 LED blew out then the rest followed. But the HID kit it self worken grate!!! I luv the sexy blueish white tint! (6000k)
I had my HID kit nstalled today he said he put the ballasts in a area right under the light fixture so when you drive, air will flow thou that area and keep them cool or some **** like that.

Yeah.. I'm not sure. I will probably just go for the black OEM style lights and just keep my standard bulbs. IMO the projectors are still a little tacky. Especially since I'm going for a clean look, no matter how much better the light output is, it'll still take away from the look.. Thanks for the help though, guys..
One last question..
I've gone through a few sets of lights in my Cobalt. I finally spent the money awhile ago to get all matching 9007's and H11's. Luminics. Well they were incredible. Output was good, but the color was incredible. Looked just like HID's. Exactly what I wanted. But then the one fog stopped working. The fog blew the damn socket it was plugged into. lol. So what I wanted to know was, does anyone sell adaptors I can plug into the stock sockets so that it's safer to run the aftermarket bulbs? I've never had a problem before, but I can't keep replacing sockets.. I'd need them for both 9007 and H11 since I always use my fogs when my lights are on.. Thanks in advance!!
