you can adjust the way the lights shine on the stock lamps. also mine came with shields.

And I'm going to be the jerk driving around with HIDs in all possible housings if they can fit one. Aveo is my third car in a row with 6000K headlights and 3000K fog lights, and only the CX-7 had the projection headlights. H4 bulbs are actually very good with light output staying on the road and not in oncoming driver's face (at least with a blacked out housing in the 1st gen Aveo that is)... And I will keep running HIDs in my headlights/foglights as long as I have the money to get them.. Once you go HID you won't want to switch back...

I really want hids but my housing says not to n I hate when people flash me all the time thinking I got highbeams on with my projectors. N I laugh when people in front of me get pissed off cause they think I have high beams on. N they are covering their mirrors n such. Waving their hands around. N always trying to get ahead to get out the light bug I'm always on their a*s cause they are n everyone goes too slo for me. I get in a lot of trouble for it though

My halos said no HID bulbs either... didn't stop me though... a little bit of filing and the bulbs fit right in. But I'm with different housings now.

And about your lights blinding people - you could just aim them lower.

Who said that was a prob? Hahaha but na really how do u do that? And if it didn't stop u then y did u switch housing. Dis u mess it up n didn't it damage anything?

Didn't see this question for a while. I just filed the opening to be a little wider, didn't damage anything. It's just that the fillament in H1 HID is a little further away from the projector lens and there's no way to get it closer. If it was too close I could put a couple of washers in there to put it in the right spot, but I'm a perfectionist about my lights, and the light output wasn't doing it for me. If I didn't have anything to compare them to, I'd be fine, but my wife's HHR had a lot better light output with stock housings, so I decided to go with those to try it out. Got the blacked out ones. Loved the light output. Loved the way they look (even though the halos looked fine too, I just got tired of that look). Kept the blacked out OEM ones and sold the halos to a guy from Oregon. Hope he likes them.

You're right, there are screws in the back to adjust the halo projectors up/down left/right (on each light there is two screws next to each projector and to each high beam housing)
