ive had my projectors since july and they have had melted lenses, still cant get them to be pointed right after hours of adjustment, and ive gone thru 3 headlight bulbs so far, i still have a headlight out right now. the money would have been better spent elsewhere...

 

I was wondering how many people would have problems with them. Sad that those are the only ones available for the Cobalt... especially for the price they are charging for them. The only ones I've ever seen in person looked sweet... but they fogged up on the inside as soon as it started to cool down outside.

 

weiurd i have had them on for about 9 months and not a problem.. i dont understand how your melting the lenses... what bulb are you useing they tell you what you can and can not use..

stock bulbs that came with them melted the lens, and i have had some fog but none lately

 

Mines also starting to melt, i'm using a an HID kit from vision bulbs

 

Did you by any chance start to see the melting after you tried to aim them? I know one of mine melted when I was attempting to aim the bulb, i think I rotated the actual projector too far outwards and the bulb becomes to close to the lense. Got mine replaced under warranty tho

 

yeah i dont know but that plastic on there shouldnt melt at all, it should be higher grade for the price. i was thinking of doing a swap on my lenses from the stock headlights to see if they hold up better. but for now i need to buy a new headlight that wont keep burning out

 

You know i didn't think about that. They weren't melting at all and now that i did aim them finally i noticed a small pin whole from where they're starting to melt.

 

i wonder if there is something we can do to coat the lens so they dont melt

 

I called this over a year ago!

Linkage to calling it out

 

Damn if you did... so... what's your prediction on the 2008 model?

 

Plastics is my industry ...... they must have used cheap acrylic for the projector lens . A high quality polycarbonate should not even come close to melting with a normal headlight bulb .

How about swapping in a real set of HID projectors in the housings you have . Seal em up good when your done , then problem solved forever .

OR

If you dont want to go thru the hassle of HID , get a set of cheap used 03 or newer Saturn L-series headlights , remove the OEM halogen projector from the housing and swap it into the lights u have . The OEM projector wouldnt ever give problems , the lens is glass .

Just ideas .

 

yeah yeah mister know it all lol

I ordereda set but they were like $110 shipped soooo I figured I would try. cheaper well A LOT cheaper then the rest so ehh oh well

 

Nooooooooo!

Matt got the ebay projectors! I don't think I can be seen with you anymore!

 

haha well technicallllyy I didn't buy them from ebay so does that count? lol

Ill give them back if you help me make a set of projectors like yours? lol

 

how about you get into dishing out some of them bad boy hid projectors and sell them on here??? i got first dibs!!!!!

 

Ohhhh helll no. haha I have first dibs lol. If anything Ill just find out were he lives and break into his house and steal them lol. Just kidding Merc

Ohhh by the way Jimmy, im starting back up at Wilmington this summer....eww haha

 

man that sucks... those are some sick looking headlights, too. i was thinking about buying them... i guess i wont now!

 

x2
So is there any way to get some good ones?

 

well i replaced the burnt out headlight with a cheap sylvania one for like $4 and it looks exactly the same as the other silverstar, those silverstars are such a rip off, the want like $17 for one headlight and the cheap one looks the same by the same company.
