strobe placement? and WTB HID?

Hey does anyone have strobes on their cobalt ss? If so could you post pictures of where to put them in the headlights and taillights.

Also was wanting to buy HID's....what kit should i go with and what is the bulb for our car...what is the best color to go with 6k or 8k.

not here to flame but def. check out the HID sticky from the appearance section.. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/hids-what-you-should-know-before-you-buy-94774/
we strongly suggest putting HIDs into a projector rather than the stock reflectors for the safety of other drivers and it will also help you from potentially getting a ticket

Ok i found it.One of these days i gotta get a nite time video of them.Its tough though because they draw too much attention. have them hooked up to my alarm,so everytime i arm/disarm it they flash for like 5 seconds.There brighter and faster in person.The camcorder couldnt catch all the flashes cause i guess it was too fast for it.

strobe lights

Throw on some techno music and you've got a dance party going on!

Those are one of a kind. I personally wouldn't do it to my car though.

yeah your options are pretty much get the halo projectors or retrofit projectors in stock headlights, both of which you can safely put HIDs in. if you're interested in the projectors check ebay, they're a little cheaper
