Hey guys!

I'm a NEW member here on this forum, but definitely not new to the forum world!
i am acutally form cobaltss.net in which i am a supporting vendor for doing custom headlights and taillights.
Locally around this area i've done a few Chevy Cruze's so i thought i'd join here to show everyone some of the stuff i work with!
I'm planning to be a supporting vendor on this forum soon hopefully!

here's a project that i coined "The Penguin"

*excuse the smidges on the lenses*

White housings
White Projector Shroud
Custom blue demon eye
Custom blue halos

Nice, awesome job on this! Gatlings look and fit great, is the turn signal reflector painted white also? It's hard to tell in the pics.

I understand if you don't wanna give your secret but how did you open them so cleanly? The permaseal seems to be too hard for baking? Cut the lens off?
Also is it a mini h1 or fx projector

Thanks for the positive input guys!
i'd be more than happy to do retrofits for all of you!
Just give me sometime and i'm sure we can work something out!

As for cracking the lights open.. ;]

Projectors are Morimotos- i've done FX-R's in a Cruze before locally here, it was extremely difficult and took lots of time. Wish i had a picture of it!

I'm not big on the demon eye but those would look freaking amazing on my white Cruze, maybe with a white halo...

Morimotos from trs. If you crack out the housing they should be an easy install.
Great lil projector. I have too much invested in oem d2s stuff to use em.

Awesome job on headlights man!!! Most def. going to do my lights with you lol really like the style.

so they are mini D2S I take it...kind of a bummer there, those are probably worse than the stock halogens IMO.

no not at all, i think they perform pretty good! they're not acura TL's or Honda S2k's but they perform pretty nicely!

Well that's good to hear, I had some mini H1's on my slowbalt before the cruze and they were leaps and bounds better.

Yeah the mini h1s are the way to go for the plug n play retrofit.

Do either of you have these pictures saved somewhere? The rest of the posters haven't been on since 2013ish so that is why I'm asking you.

TIA
