Not talking about the amber lens.

Little known fact:

The SS/SCs have smoked headlights, all other models do not. Unless they canned that in late 07. I know early 07 SS/SCs still had the smoked lights.

That sucks. Must be a new for 08 thing or a mid-year 07 thing. I know 100% that ALL 05/06s still had the difference which is all that would matter for that car, since that color wasn't made after 06.

Those look smoked to me. To get a good shot you have to look at the front. I've got two good ones in my gallery, hang on. The 08 non-SS's do NOT have smoked headlights I know that much.

Cause it was yet another SS/SC-only feature. I actually called someone out on a poser 07 by those lights.

OK, there are 2 non-SC'd cars in this lineup (don't look at the redlines, they do not have smoked lights)...if you just look at headlights they stick out like a sore thumb:


Here's a good shot side by side - smoked on the right, non-smoked on the left:

It could be that NONE of them have the smoked lights. The red one looks like they are, but the other SS/TC that posted in here most definitely does NOT have smoked lights. It'd be my guess that they did away with them for all models.

these are all brande new 2008 cobalts

SS/TC:


Sport:


LS:


the ones on the LS really stick out cause its a white car, and back in 07 every new cobalt i detailed had the smoked lights.. so maybe its just special order for our dealership

you cant say those arent smoked

None of those are the best of angles, the SS/TC ones in that picture don't looked smoked to me. It's hard to tell when they're up close. It's so subtle it's tough to tell. I've seen pics of even my car where they look both ways. Now I'm curious though, I'm going to look at the two dealerships on my way to my cousins today.

The one I posted of my SS/SC and friend's 2.4, mine's an 05. I'll see if I have one of a friend's 05 base.
