tdawg: I don't see those headlights on ebay, so did you do the retrofit? Do your projectors have the motor for high beams? Loose the ricer 8000K and get something that will actually be an improvement over halogens (4500K-6000K)
Any pics of the engine bay? Looks like you might have an intercooler (read: turbo) but your license plate placement makes me think twice about that.

as for ebay I would NEVER buy headlights off of ebay. They ALL look the same you can tell ebay lights now as soon as you see the 3 circular led's or fake spot for what you thought were leds. And they're cheap. You buy cheap you get cheap. I had mine custom made with a NO CUT retro kit. And they weren't cheap either. Yes they also have the bi-xenon flip up highbeams.
No intercooler, no turbo. Its just a cavalier it was never meant to go fast, if I wanted fast I would've bought fast, saving that for the next car that will deserve major engine mods and be able to handle them without breaking.
Nothing wrong with my license plate, to each their own
The Nos bottle is doing what its good at, being a hood prop. That juice is GROSS lol
Thinkin bout sellin the kit thinkin about fogs, all up in the air, no more major mods for this car saving money for the next car.

Fair enough. Colour ratings can differ from manufacturer.
Its true. Retros are amazing (should be, because the projector can be chosen) I bought projectors headlights from ebay and they did leak water. Good old silicon fixed that, and the projector cut offs aren't bad. They're no TSX projector (whit that beautiful blue) but they don't blind people
