Where is a good place I can buy retrofit headlights for my cobalt ss. I really like the way they look if anyone knows can you please help me out thanks

 

bass_waves, kdub1492, other members such as myself perhaps could make you some.

you don't just 'buy them' they are custom made.

not cheap either, expect ~500 dollars.

but worth it. TOTALLY worth it

 

Ok. Thanks I'm going to be in the market for some very soon. I just recently got my Balt and a pretty good job so gotta be spending the money on something lol.

 

Inb4 don't buy from HIDwerks.

 

Ok. I looked online and have seen a few for like 350 but I doubt there real retro's .

 

Well, they are either retros or they aren't. There aren't fake retros.

 

You can contact several people. I build them, have made a set fro Riceburner, you can see his pictures. In the middle of building a pretty awesome set for Ryan (sythe_snake). You can contact me, willing to talk and help you with some ideas.

 

Dont get them confused, those are just aftermarket headlights. Retros are custom made to order.

Retros or bust.

 

Dont buy from hidwerks or mike ulrey

 

Damn called that out

 

Gotta cut out the nitty gritty and get straight to the meat and potatoes here

 

I'm going to invest in retros soon and have found a least 3 people that will make me a set for 350

 

Including ballasts, bulbs, relay or just headlight and retrofit and you have to source everything else you need?

 

It's just the completed headlights. Id prefer to buy my own bulbs and ballast any way.

 

Lol. Why do ppl see the price rag of 350$ and freak out. Honestly. That barely covers a full retrofit kit from trs. Ya don't wanna know what type of builds I've done. I keep the cheap builds on the Facebook page. The 700$+ builds are secret projects not many will get to see. Biggest reason is once the price tag goes higher than 200$. That's when we get the "hell no the gen headlights cost XXX and are just as good" . Lol I love it when they tell me that. If any of ya going to Carlisle. Look for a lbm Balt. Check out the lights.

 

Hidwerks

 

but the gen headlights do look just as good I dropped over 600 on parts for mine, so a price of 500 to 800 for retrofit headlighs including everything needed depending on the light out wanted is reasonable

 

True.. I dropped $700+ on mines ..and that's just parts! Lol

 

Don't get the person confused, do not buy from HidWerks or Mike Ulrey. Really poor service, and you'll wait foreevver to get what you paid for.

 

I paid $600 for my setup.

 

I laugh when people send me a message saying they want Mini h1's and are onlylooking to spend $300-350. That is about the cost of the kit, basically saying that I do them for free. People in this community are cheap and want everything for nothing. I've done a couple sets on other cars and the amount they will pay is amazing. Got a guy looking for me to do a retro on is 2002 Trans Am. Said i have $1200 haha

 

Thanks for the help guys. I will most likely be in contact soon to get a build setup. Just gotta keep pounding away at these 15-17 hr shifts on the rigs lol

 

Yeah. I got parts in for an Altima. I got 500$ in labor. That was best week of my life. Cobalts on the other hand. Ppl expect u to pay for the stuff just to make retros for em at less than parts cost.

 

Yeah I don't wanna spend a **** load on them. But I am saving some cash up gotta make the car payment's first lol
