What''s your warranty on your Projectors?
...Because i have had Gen3's and know how there made.....
this should be answered here.
...Because i have had Gen3's and know how there made.....
I was just wondering if your headlights had an issue with multiple stress cracks or whatever they may be appearing on the headlight casing. I purchased a set of headlights that look very similar to yours, but within the first week they started getting all these tiny elongated cracks that are impossible to remove. I would just be extremely upset if I were to pay for another set of headlights and have all these tiny cracks show up on the casing. If that does occur with your headlights; does that fall under warranty? Other than my fear of these cracks occuring I am extremely interested in purchasing a set with the HID kits installed, but I need to have some form of reassurance that this will not occur, or it will be taken care of if it does happen.
this should be answered here.

The only way we can do any warranty on the projectors is if we ship them straight from distributor. Of course if we did that, then we can't do the anti-glare mod.

The other problem is, the spidering lens is notorious across all projector headlights we've seen for the Cobalts. The only "good" solution is to swap the lens off the factory headlight onto the projector headlight.
In the meantime, I've got an OEM Cobalt headlight that's popped open so I'm waiting on a set of Morimoto projectors to come in to see how they fit.

And the only ones I can get would likely be Depo or Eagle Eye reproductions and that would require buying the entire headlight assembly just for the lens :|

No real tricks to be honest. We usually just use T-Taps when we tap into the turn signal/parking lights in case we have to remove the headlight.

I got mine from Pro Tuning Lab they have the CCFL halo's cost a bit more but they are brighter and last longer, I bought the 3rd Gen style and but HID's in both high and low (35W), and have had them installed for a year, no cracked or melted lense.
these are the ones i got:
Chevy Cobalt / Pontiac G5 05-09 CCFL LED Projector Headlights - Black with HID Kit
right now on sale with HID for $290
