Default Camaro Projector headlights + HID bulbs <<SOLD>>

SOLD!

These projector headlights are about 5 months old. Only used about 4 months. I preferred them with the 6000k HIDs over stock headlights. However, the beam is a little narrower, which isn't usually a problem but I found that they didn't do too well in a snowstorm. Yeah yeah I know, a Camaro isn't a winter snowstorm vehicle but it is all I have!

If you drive at night in heavy snow these aren't for you. But summer driving or in states where there are no snowstorms that shouldn't be a problem.

These have dual halos, and the LEDs along the side. When I had them on my car I disconnected the LEDs. They are reconnected now but I can provide info on how to disable them again if you want.

I'm including the 6000K HID bulbs as well 35W. NOT a HID kit, just bulbs! NO ballasts included. The bulbs are used of course but only 4 months and that wasn't constant night driving either, most of my driving was during the day. I'm throwing these in basically for free!

I bought the headlights new for $185. I'd like to sell them for $135 SHIPPED WITH INSURANCE and remember, that includes the 6000K HID bulbs for free! I am located in central Ohio, if you pick them up I'll chop $25 off the price.

PM is best to contact me



And a couple photos on my car.. please excuse the filth, they were taken I think in December or early January. I cleaned them up well before packing them. You can see I had the LEDs disconnected.

Yes they are plug and play if you have the ballasts for the HID bulbs.

I have a question for you thoug Sparky, what type of headlight did you switch to and what bulb temp are you now running?

I switched to another set of projectors I got from ebay. They don't have CCFL halos tho, just LED so they aren't as bright and visible in the day, oh well I'm now using 5000K bulb temp, but there doesn't seem to be a huge difference that I notice. Maybe if I compared them side by side it would be easier to tell. They are 35W, sorry about that I'll put that in there. Bulbs use this connector type (standard for most HID I believe)

I just put these on my car and Im loving them. I didnt wire up the halos, though, just using the hid's. What kind of difference would I see if I switched from the 35w ballast to the 55w?
