    Default Cruze Retrofit

    A company who specializes in custom retrofits posted this up on the hidplanet.com forums. I know Maven just began to offer to make retrofits for the Cruze so I figured I'd share on here. Maybe this will spark up interest for some members on here and Maven will eventually start a set. I'm not a fan of the shrouds used in this setup, but everything else is quite nice.

The STi-R lens swap really transforms these projectors! We did some fine tuning to them and up close about they have a fuzzy orangish/reddish hue to the cutoff, but in the distance it turns into a razor sharp purple cutoff band. Originally Dan supplied the Gatling Gun V2 shrouds, but those wouldnt cover the projector and mounting hardware fully so we switched to the Orbit shrouds. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this conversion. Thank you!

    Those are my lights if anyone is interested in where I got them done go to hidplanet.com or pm me.
    I'll post pics once I receive them. They should be here tomorrow according to ups.

    I didn't initially have those shrouds but for whatever reason the Gatling v2 wouldn't work. I'm overall happy about this setup. I wanted p keep it as oem looking as I could. I didnt want to look like a dumb ricer

    Actually, I don't entirely mind these. They look pretty close to OEM. I wasn't sold on the shrouds for a Cobalt retro, but they seem to flow on the Cruze headlamps. Nice stuff.

    i think they are crap for what they are. I would not do a projector in a reflector like root beer says who is more polite than me, too darn shiny. I know how to make it better I already did it, but the market wont support the cost afaik....PS wanna be a vendor? sign up.

    I just posted this so that people with a Cruze can get an idea and come to you for retrofits if they're interested. That's also why I refrained from posting who made them.

    Its okay, the place that did his lights is well known in the retrofit business, and does quality work quickly.....but they are RETARDED expensive.

    I wanted to keep them OEM looking. He offered to paint for free but i didn't want a blacked out housing. Yes they were retardedly expensive but I didn't feel like dealing with trying to pry open these housings.

    it's fine I'll be able to see once i get these in. I'm not complaining at all. the price i paid would make people cry and say i'm crazy.. that maybe so but oh well. I didn't know that he offered retrofits for GM vehicles until after this was done. Hopefully some of the people at cruze talk will actually get in contact with him about retrofits. there seemed to be a lot of interest UNTIL someone stepped up and offered retrofitting services.
