Long story short, i was looking for a set of black painted housing OEM headlights and read some horror stories about the ones that i found online sooo i decided to look on CSS for someone to make me what i wanted.

I came across ECaulk and saw some of his work in the Retrofit thread and shot him a PM. I have never really spoke with him before this so it was really my first time communicating with him.

He is a great guy to do business with (Great guy to just chat with too lol) . He emailed and texted me throughout the entire process with pictures and updates. Customer service at its finest !

Ok onto the process and what i got :

- Brand new headlights, ordered by ECaulk.
- I got to choose what i wanted him to do, like your typical retro order. (he even found a set with smoked lenses )
- It took about 2 weeks total for him to get the lights, take them apart, do what he needed to do and get them shipped to me.
- He sent pictures to show each process and before shipping he went to the car wash to test for any leaks etc.

All for a great price too !


Pics :

Shipped to me in there original box with packaging:



- the fitment on these aftermarket replacements were spot on, 100 times better than the way my stockers fit in there. (each side was **** eyed, not anymore)



Sorry the car is so dirty, damn pollen !!!






The smoked lenses are much more apparent outside in the light, but i love the new look.



Overall im a satisfied customer and would definitely recommend headlights from ECaulk to all !!!

 

sounds great, good job ECAULK

 

Looks sharp! Too dark for me, I gave up on tinting after state troopers cracked down on it. I would go years with no issue or ticket them tinted tail lights gave me away to a statie, getting written up for tails, window tint, exhaust ect.. sucks

 

yeah i didnt realize how dark they were until they were outside. in the first pic they are inside and dont look tinted at all.

The tint is the actual lens though not tinted by a film or spray.

 

Ecaulk is a *****.

 

I like that fitment. Any link to purchase em? If fitment is spot on I'll use those for retros. I'm always looking to give more quality .

Btw ecaulk. Good job

 

They look great i wouldnt mind some lenses like that

 

i don't believe ive ever seen a pair of headlights fit a cobalt that well

 

when i tell you my stock ones didnt fit ... they didnt fit at all lol.

My passenger side one was tucked down under the bumper and behind the lip next to the grill.... on the driver side it was the complete opposite lol

i put these in and was like holy crap they were made for my car lol

 

Yeah all the headlights ive installed in my 2 cobalts around 5 sets have never looked so flush. I want some tinted lenses now lol

 

It's the same OEM tint that came on the SS, my OEMs got that dark when I blacked out the chrome

You're just jelly your STi is slow

I'll PM you the link and thanks.

 

Ohh wow so its just the regular tint the oem lenses have? thats crazy but i looks amazing

 

Lol where did you get that license plate bracket? I've been looking all over for one....

 

You could make it or powell sells one you can add to the tow hook

 

Looks great I would rock them

 

good work but a little too dark to see the quality

 

I made it myself its a bunch of stuff i got from homedepot. Its got a bunch of reinforcements so it dosent move at all.

 

I want to look into making one then...I don't particularily like where Powell's mounts too

 

I'd like to see a set of these in person. The lenses look too dark for my liking in pictures.

 

They look really dark in the pics, in person there not as dark.

There DOT. Approved tho lmao

 

Then they must not be too bad

 

Ill try to get some better pic tomorrow. Hopefully the camera and lighting will work with me.

 

Can you PM me the link as well?

 

X2, I would like to have it please!

 

Better just post the link here lol
