Retrofit on my Cobalt

So I have a buddy back in the states that was awesome to retrofit my Cobalts headlights before it got shipped to me in Germany, absolutely free! But I plan on giving him some cash for his work

This is the kit I ordered from BuyHIDs.com/TheRetroSource

Had some problems with the kit because they sent me two different versions of the Shrouds that you will be able to see in the pictures below.

And now for the pictures

they really arent that much...like $100 more than the aftermarket ones without buying the HIDs. which are like $50

so really $50 for custom headlights that IMO look 10 times better

this winter I plan on taking out the individual LEDs and replacing with either CCLFs or LED rings behind the shroud again. might also put a CCFL halo around the ring of the shroud
