Projector Headlights

[BlacK0uT]

Today I changed my mind on my headlights. I realized how stupid it is to get HIDs in stock housing. I did my research on it and the more I read about HIDs, the less I want them. I think I'm going to go with the Projector Headlights. I have a few questions about them, if anybody has them or knows about them.

The one main thing I want to understand, if I get the Halo Projector Headlights, the color will still be the normal yellowish/white factory color. I was wondering if i can at this point, get an HID kit to change the color or can i just change the color of the halo rings? I'm not sure how that part works.
All i know is that I want the Projector Headlights but I don't want the stock light color it comes with.

Also...can i go ahead and buy an HID kit and then if I do switch to the Projector Headlights, can i just use the same ballasts and bulbs?

i read about hid and projectors i pick projectors . the lights in mine aint the stock color it more a blue/white and the halos have 2 led lights that light up one ring you can change the led color to change the ring color . my projectors say no HID on them so i guess i cant hook a hid to them .

Retrofit is the way to go

oh god. yeah i'm just going to go with the Projectors. I just want a different color and I still don't understand how you change the color. And if HIDs aren't compatible with them, are the Projectors bright still?

 

[arman14]

What do you mean by change the color?
HIDs are compatible with those projectors but your lenses will get stress cracks

 

[BlacK0uT]

i would rather not have it crack. and the factory color, you know how it has a orange/yellow/low-white color to it? i want like a crystal white color. i hate that yellowish color on my factory lights. i think i'm just going to buy an HID kit and put it in the factory housing...its only $40 so i will just do that for now until i want to get projectors

 

[arman14]

You can get some 5000k or 6000k for a whitish/bluish color.

Go with projectors and hids. Don't like the stock yellow then just get 8k hids.

 

[Intmd83r]

my projectors dont have a yellow tint to them

 

[BlacK0uT]

I just ordered an HID kit with 8k bulbs about an hour ago. I'm going to keep these until Christmas then most likely upgrade to the Projector Headlights.

i didn't mean the Projectors, I meant I don't like the yellowish color to the factory headlights...that come on the Cobalt straight out of the factory line.

If you didn't understand that's what I did..I can just remove the HIDs when Christmas comes around.
