Default FS: 2006+ Impala/Monte Carlo Black Headlights

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...95#post9704195

Although I'm not 100% sold on the light output of the new projector halo's I recently installed, I'm parting ways with my custom-painted stock headlights. They're up on eBay right now. $75 opening bid with $200 Buy It Now. I will close the auction and sell direct for $200 + 1/2 the shipping cost, just as offered via eBay. These can be painted body color as well (by the buyer), so if the black isn't for you, that is an option as well.

PM me if you're interested.

Yeah...check out the "New headlights available" thread that 20SS07 posted a couple weeks ago. Pretty sure I posted them in there. I love the look...but the light output is not on par with what I have now with the HID's...and I'd almost venture to say it's even less than the stock halogen output...just prettier.

Don't know if the necessary H3c HID bulbs are going to do the trick or not, but since I do very little nighttime driving, I'll keep form over function and stick with the projectors regardless of the light output.

I agree with Buff about the light output from the projectors. My stock headlights with 8500K xenon/krypton halogens were brighter and lit up a wider area in my opinion. I'm going to get the same 8500K bulbs for the projector lights and see if it makes a difference. I'll keep you all posted.

I thought you were modifying the lights to accept HID H3s?

The H3's are for the new projector lights he's keeping, they require H3's so there will be no modifying for those. He's selling his original stock lights he painted black himself.

Yeah, I plan to...just haven't yet. I'm not too worried about it, though. I like them for what they are. Waiting on my order to arrive with HLA.

So do you have HID H3C's or the H3 halogens that came with the lights? If you have the H3C's can you post a pic of the light output? I'm still waiting on my H3C bulbs.

Sorry for all the confusion. I have the H3 halogens that came with the projectors. I'm waiting on the H3 HID kit. It's YOU that is getting the HID H3c's, remember??? LOL

And matt @ NAIOA (MTPG15) is installing the H3c HID's, as 20SS07 mentioned. Keep an eye out for his photos.

Oh ok. My headlights have been here since last week I'm just waiting on my bulbs. I'll check out the site and hopefully he has some pics up.

These days, they're plug-n-play. They'll work w/the factory harness.

You wouldn't need anything different than if you were putting HIDs in the stock headlights.

Which would you suggest, the Halo's or the HID's??

The Halos look awesome, but do they last?

You can do the halos w/the HIDs, follow the link posted above by 20SS07 and look at the posts from the guy Buff mentions. He did both.
