Question Hid's in Stock Housing Who Has Done It?

Hid's in Stock Housing who has done it?

I seen there was a thread awhile ago on this subject , but it is now closed and didn't ask my question. Who has done it? I have asked on a Hid forum about it and they said stay away from Ebay projectors their useless your better off just running them in your stock housing as your Cobalt is a modern car and shouldn't glare/blind too much.

Because I don't want to retrofit, so who on the forum is running Hid's in their stock housings, and do you have a beam shot?


I ordered some 35 watt 4500K from Ddm tuning.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, I haven't personally seen our headlamps with HIDs in them myself, but I would imagine from the way the bulbs are made that they would have some glare since its the entire bulb lighting up not just the filament.

Ebay Projectors > HID's in Stock Housings.

I had HID's on the stock housings for about 6 months and I never had any single problem, but that doesn't mean I didn't flash anyone
Retrofit is the way to go, kinda expensive but it worth it.

I do. They are not too bad. I think eBay projectors would be a better choice as far as blinding people. You will just have to deal with peeling lenses and burnt out LEDs.

Use some plastic polish on them to take away the peeling.
