Josef's 05 Aveo Hatchback LS Start through Finish!

Now that is good to know about the eyebrow lights. I in the process of "un-trashing" my car after two "incidents" I will need to replace the headlights and strongly considering 1) Mod the existing Aveo 2006 design or 2) Buy the above lights.

Now if I buy said lights, a couple of questions:
1) Are you satisfied with illumination at night? (I know you took a picture but it's really hard to tell.) An other way to ask the question are they better than stock?
2) Did you have to break the seal to put in the LED strip? Did you put in relay to bypass the half voltage for daylights or is that somehow built into the light? Or did you run the LED strip on the half voltage?
3) A lot of those lights have two blue LEDs, do you find them annoying?

Thanks for putting up the pictures. It's really appreciated.

I absolutely love these lights at night! The eyebrow is very bright at night as well as the two LED's on either headlight, but I don't believe it impacts oncoming traffic or the person I am driving behind. The two halo rings on either headlight are not very visible on sunny days, but fairly visible on cloudy days, and perfectly visible at night. The headlights come with stock H1 Halogen bulbs in the projector housing which I swapped out with Kensun 6000K HID Bulbs (Kensun HID Xenon Headlights). The hookup was simple and I just ziptied the Ballasts to the frame near where the shocks, i believe, are mounted under the hood. In order to make the HID's compatable with the car you have to disable the DRl's (Daytime Running Lights) which just consists of disconnecting a connector under the dash (http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f94/drl-7226/). If you connect the HID's with the DRL module connected then while in DRL mode, the HID's will flicker and could blow up or burn out because of not getting proper running voltage. After disabling the DRL's the voltage will now stay at full voltage whether you have the switch on Daytime Running Light mode or headlight mode. I just tapped the MAX LED strips into the wires that originally had the halogen bulb in the eyebrow. There is a rubber base that the bulb originally clipped into that I just sealed the wires of the Max LED into the headlight. It really isn't a problem to worry about
I hope that answered everything!
