Need help finding the right head lights!

So I'm trying to find some good projector lights with the halos but I'm not sure whats a good brand. Ive seen some crack, some get moisture, and some don't fit hids.

Been looking on ebay found a few i like but once again i don't want to waste the money one something thats going to break or not do what i want for it.


And also will hids work in the stock fog lights or do i need to buy projectors for them too?

HIDs will work in the stock headlights, but HIDS look like garbage in reflectors in my opinion. All the GEN 1-3 have quality issues, but if you do buy some just make sure they have CCFL halos, or you'll be disappointed. The Gen4 lights are good quality, but they don't have halos.

Your best quality halo light is going be a retrofit.

im not putting them in stock head lights, way to bright and just does not have that clean look like the projectors do.

All projectors are from the same factory in china no matter where you buy them from. They will ALL crack leak peal in time. If your determined to get projectors, PM us we do custom orders with HIDs installed and different color halos or if you want retrofits. I have these for sale ATM

my lights don't light up anything for some reason.. fog lights do probably 2times the amount of lighting as my head lights.

another question.
I found the lights i wanna get, but i don't wanna spend 90 for a hid kit i can get for like half that. My question is when they make these do they all use the same bulb size as stock lights?

heres the lights, 2005-2011 Chevrolet Cobalt CCFL LED Sonar Projector Headlights (Black) - Sonar - JM Auto Racing
