I'm in the market for new headlights for my 08 G6 GT. I'm thinking Halo's or the L.E.D. eye slits that the audi uses or HID's Can anyone suggest and tell me the pro's and con's of them all? I would love you forever

Thanks!

i recently purchased these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PONT...ts=Model:G6&hash=item43a36409dc#ht_4227wt_995

i was in a hurry and forgot to ask about the hid compatibility, but am having them professionally installed so im going to see if they are able to drill/cut or w.e it is they can do to make hids fit

do you think that would work?
(btw i made my own thread asking this before i saw this one lol)

Those ones aren't technically made for hids so no one knows yet whether or not they will fit. When you get them installed especially if you get the hids installed as well, post up a picture of the beam pattern so we can see how they look

On their website they have a special option to bundle HID's in, so I was thinking that meant they were compatible.

hazy in what way? as theres moisture in them, or as the lens is becoming translucent and hard to see through?

You've got an 07+? that would be a no can do. In 07 they changed the sealant for the headlight and you cant open them up.

As far as the haze on the outside of the headlights, this can be fixed with a headlight restoration kit. A good one I bought from walmart for like 21 bucks after tax, but you can get from any autostore. You should try this. there may not even be any haze on inside of the headlight. The haze is due to some type of oxidation due to outside elements which the inside of the lights are not exposed to unless defective or intentionaly exposed.

Wow man awesome! Thanks a lot!

And also, how do you like your black spyder headlights? and how well do those HID's perform in them compaired to the stock headlights.

Are you going to get the chrome ones when they are available? I am curious on how well they light the road at night compared to stock.
