Chevrolet Cobalt Light Headlight Bulb Size

The compact Chevrolet Cobalt reached the auto market for the first time in 2004. By then, it was available as coupe and sedan versions.  It also came with a variety of trim levels. The manufacturer resumed its only one generation in 2010. With an interior that’s isolated from the external noises, this high-performance car guaranteed a high degree of comfort.

Aftermarket light bulbs: upgrades

You probably now know that your Cobalt came with the standard halogen bulbs that are less than impressive. So, as you plan to replace them, think about the nicer, aftermarket headlights that are readily available. If you choose to go for something more stylish in the aftermarket, consider the options that top industry manufacturers, like Spyder Auto and Spec-D Tuning, produce.

Another reason you should consider the aftermarket headlights is that most of them come with added valuable design features. You can expect to get accent LEDs, LED DRLs, CCFL/LED Halos, etc. Other than that, you find it easy to pick out a wide variety of designs, order, and plug-and-play install any of them.
