nice! i like wht u did so far. gud luck on ur future mods!

Thank you, I'm pretty happy with this car because everything is so easy when working on it.

Very nice car... Are you planning on lowering it? The car will handle a bit better without sacrificing the ride quality much...

And if you're swapping all the outside turn signals/markers to LEDs, you might want to get one of the LED flasher relays from http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/ ... ashers.htm and the number our cars use is CF13GL-02. It says they're for German/European cars, but that's the only one on there that has the corresponding markings on the relay pins. Works well.

Are you planning to go with HID's for the fogs too once you install them? And if you do, are you matching them to 8K or 3K as the fogs should be?

And again - nice Aveo.

Well as for lowering it I'm undecided because sometimes when I hit a bump or something it aleady touches the wheels but maybe I'll do lower it since its better.
As for the relay do I replace one from the site above with a stock one that will be it right? If for some reason if I have the fogs I might install a 3K HID kit or maybe find a projector small enough to retrofit it like a Mini H3 or so and I'm thinking in changing the 8K to a lower one like 5 or 6K.

If you want the most light output and don't care about color go with 4300K. I have purple ones in mine though.

Yes, you take your stock relay out and replace it with the one from the above site. But you only need that if you're going all LED (or partial LED) for your turn signals to keep them flashing at a normal rate.

If you want the most light output and don't care about color go with 4300K. I have purple ones in mine though.

4300K is the most light output, but looks like regular bulbs, just brighter (that's what all the Caddy's use stock).
5000k is pretty close to daylight, but I personally prefer 6k, it's got very good light output, yet looks cool with just a hint of blue. And 3000k in fogs is actually practical since yellow color cuts the best through the fog/rain...

And wolf, for you it doesn't matter, it snows all year round, so it reflects any color you have

Thank you very much, yeah I know about the HID color, I got mine just for looks but I'll be changing them soon because I know that more than 6K its useless which thats what I heard.

Yup. That's why I just changed my 10000k hids to 6000k when I changed the headlsmps... made quite a difference.

It is a huge improvement, unfortunately some people choose higher color just for looks and don't care about the light output it has.

Like I said, to each their own... This is a third car I've done with 6000k/3000k combo (CX-7, HHR, and Aveo) and I love both the looks and the light output.

Actually, 8000K-10000K is the best to have up here because the blue pierced the snow and reflects the borders and ridges. It can be dangerous to drive up here when it's blowing snow, because you can't see the lanes on the road or the shoulder or where it ends, do blue works awesome. 3000K yellow is perfect for fog, cuts it pretty well. I just went with purple in my headlights for fun, I love the way it looks.

Wolf, what's the actual K temp of your purple lights?
