HID housing

Well I have an LT, but it seems I don't have inserts. The back of the car says LT xfe. I'll take a picture when the sun comes up.

 

[emperorjj1]

sounds like u have option 1

 

[Woolbright]

Yes I do. Do I need a new bumper or can I cut out the insert area and install the correct inserts?

There's no structure for fog lights with your bumper. Your best bet is to buy an SS bumper out of a junk yard.

xfe is what extended fuel economy or something like that

That's my understanding, came with like no options and tire gunk instead of a spare IIRC. Wish they'd of given it a belly pan, I'd love a belly pan. The G5 catalog has a short belly pan.

 

[emperorjj1]

belly pan?

 

[YelloEye]

belly pan?

A plastic panel that covers the underside of the vehicle, typically to streamline the underside.

This is the short one for the G5, GM P/N: 25929131

 

[emperorjj1]

damn hell ya that would be pretty badass to help with the aerodynamics

 

[YelloEye]

Yeah, funny thing is that it says it fits 08-10 G5 with the LNF in it....they never had an LNF.

Going back to HIDs is there a certain type that needs to be used for headlights? I foun these.

Mini d2s Bi-Xenon HID Projectors w/ 2.5" Clear Lenses h4 Adapters:Amazon:Automotive

 

[emperorjj1]

not really with retros u build them urself so u put everything together. also those dont come with bulbs just fyi

 

[Bass_Waves]

Those are garbage. 2.5 inch lenses using d2s bulbs? Waste of money lol. Minimum 3 inch.
There is a huge in depth description to retros you would need hours reading. There is more than meets the eye.

 

[emperorjj1]

lol true dat. and that is why i sent my stuff to you. ive spent some time here and there researching retros but theres so much info and alot of it contradicting. best leave it to the pros

 

[Woolbright]

Why can't things be simple lol
