Something like HIDs
Thursday, October 06, 2011 3:44 AM
Hi was wanting HIDs on my 00 cavalier but i cant find projectors for a good price. I don't want to do a front end swap for the projectors either. Whats the next best thing that i can use with my oem style head light i would like it to be as bright as possible but still a white or very light blue color. Id like a LED look to it. Any help would be awesome.

Before you install the Xenon bulbs, double check the wattage of them. Alot of bulbs like those tend to have higher wattages and could melt your headlight wiring harnesses .

Sylvania has a "newish" style called the zXe. (OAKz24) speaks of them.
They claim to be the closest thing to HID output.
I got my HID's for my Colorado from "retro solutions".
Lifetime warranry on ballasts, bulbs anr wiring.
Great to work with, for individual car spec's too.

The wattage will be shown on the base of the bulb (the part that connects to the vehicle wiring), along with the bulb size i.e. 9007.

Hmmm... I have not heard of these until now. SilverStar zXe. I am going to have to give them a try and see how they compare to the SilverStars and SilverStar Ultras I currently have. Thanks for posting about them Bobby!
