You know since you brought that up I've had that problem with one of my headlights too, i just thought something was loose. I checked and couldn't find and thing. But theres not a bunch of consistency, idk. Yeah if you turn them off and back on their fine. but i did pull my DRL fuse and i also have HID's.

 

If the lights only turn on after a few times of turning it on and off a few times it is almost always a loose connection coming from a connector. I would double check the wires that go into the connectors and the grounds inside the housing.

 

I haven't read all 16 pages of this thread and I'm still a noob with the Cobalt, but what exactly does the anti glare mod consist of? Also has anyone retrofitted good lenses like TSX or S2000 lenses into the 3rd gen housings?

 

i think the reason there not turning on is because the ballast is not getting a good charge, i dont know ANYTHING about hid in cars, but hid is like a flourescent bulb, if the ballast starts going bad, you gotta flip your light switch a few times to get a good charge for the light to come on, if both lights are off one balast then that makes no sense, but if its a balast for each one i would say theres either a short in the balast or its a bad balast.... \o:

 

ok another noob question about HID's....what is the ballast? and what are the DRLs?

 

The ballasts power the H1 bulb to give it the extra brightness and DRL's are just your daytime running lights

 

So I have 50W ballasts with the plug and play harness for my HID headlghts. I have noticed when they are on, my radio reception goes down by like maybe 40%. a significant amount. I was wondering if getting relays for them would solve this issue. I didn't get the relays because somebody.....nameless....told me I didn't need them.

I was also hoping that if I did go the relay route then hope beyond hope maybe my right headlight would also maybe get its act together. I have to replace some bulbs and aim them anyways so I will double check the wire connections again just in case.

Any specific wire connections (colors? pictures?) that I should be checking again?

 

ok we installed them according to the "how to" on page 15. we have the headlights in and they look sexy. im only havening one problem. the driver side outer halo isnt lihting up any suggestions? all of the connections are good. here are some pics.









thanks for any help i get

 

ummm looks like u will need to replace the L.E.D for that halo

 

how would i do that? im no good with stuff like that.

 

im not sure dude you would have to check the how to thread on how to replace a burnt out halo

 

Questions are as follows:

1) Do you get a set of halogen H1's for the high beams with either the headlight kit or combo w/ HID's.

2) How hard is to replace the LED's in the halos/three little ones, because I plan on having these on all the time as a weak DRL.

3) Also considering adding my own 12V+ to the halogen high beams to make them DRL's (relayed from pin 87a of a relay connected to the low beam HID's)... what do the wires coming out of the back of these look like? Can I do what I please with the high beam wire?

 

I just got my set in and aimed and they look great. I have two problems though.

1. The passenger side beam is a LOT brighter than the driver side beam. Think it's the bulb or the ballast?
2. The driver side housing doesn't fit well. It fits very well to the corner at the fender, but there is a gap between the fascia near the grill and the housing that I can fit my pinky through. Has anyone been successful at adjusting the fit on the headlamp assemblies?

I'll get some pictures when it's dark out.

 

Hey partner, go over your wiring again, we test every projector before they go out so something has to be a miss. Wiggle the wires that go to the halo and that go into where you taped them into. If they flicker on and off when you wiggle them it is a loose connection.

1) Yes sir you do get a set of H1's for the high beams if you buy the projectors with or without the HIDs.

2) The LEDs are not hard to replace, the halo's require you opening up the headlight to replace them. But making them your DRL should not be hard.

3) There are 4 wires coming out of the of the bulb, the smaller black and red wire are the high beam wires. But cutting into them will void the warranty on the bulbs.

Double check to make sure that the bulb did not come out of the housing, that would defiantly cause the bulb to be a lot dimmer than the other one.

If that is not the case, swap the ballast around, drivers side to passenger side and vice versa and see if the problem follows the ballast and just let us know from there partner, we'll take care of you

 

Got them today, although sent to the incorrect address. Sent to my home not my business. They look fantastic cannot wait to install them. Went with the 8k Hid's.

 

Sorry about that slight mix up, but on the bright side you were able to get them safely

 

....still waiting on that picture....

i wanna see how bright the halo's light up red or blue.

thanks.
1 month later

 

awesome...

 

they dont come in red or blue unless when you buy them you tell them to do that and it will cost more money they only come in white with 3 bluish L.E.D's

 

i told him about the halo rings being in red or blue and he said he could get a picture for me...

 

ordered these with the HIDs, can't wait to get them and install them!

 

Operatic, I sent you a PM about my LED's.

 

i got everything fixed. only thing left to do is angle them. heres some pics.

 

wow if you guys could make RL projectors for that price you'd have so many sales. even 50-100 more.

 

operatic, i pm'd you to make sure i can still order these. I would like to order these today if at all possible. if you could let me know that would be great. thanks!
