hello im new to the site and have been reading up on this forum, im also having the same problem. I purchased a set of spyder headlights from carid for my 2008 impala. Ive installed them with no problem but the H1 HID kit i was told would fit into the low beams does not fit and will not go in. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Please and thanks

Yes I called them yesterday on my lunch break and they told me that the lights do use a H1 kit and if I can send them pictures of the problem so they can see. I got out of work pretty late so I was not able to take and send the pics so I'll try to do that today. It seems like other ppl here have had the same problem so I was just wondering if anyone found a solution in making the hid kit fit

I have a set of lights with the CCFL and I had to file the opening of the stock H1 light holes out alittle to get the HID kit to work. Im waiting on my switchback lights and a set of the PIAA H1 high output lights for the high beam to install them on my 2007 suburban.. it should look pretty cool once Im done.

So I finally solved my problem yesterday , I used a drill to shave some of the metal off and make the hole bigger, I used a vacuum to suck up all the excess metal shavings and was finally able to make the hid bulb fit. The lights look great now with the hid kit installed. Thanks to everyone who tried to help

I've only attached night time photos. I will try to get the day photos on quickly. The HALO rings look great at night, but faded during daylight hours. Using the driver-side headlamp as reference, if you follow the LED lights from left to right where it curves upward, the last light is the front side marker light (White light / 194 Wedge Bulb). It appears to blend in the photos, but does not. It looks odd in contrast to the LED lights. The simple fix is a blue led replacement. Also, my rear Tail / Brake Lights, License Plate Lights, and 3rd Brake Light are LED aftermarkets too. I should be getting my HID Kit through delivery in the next few days. I ordered an H1 Low Beam Kit at 8000K and 35w, with slim ballast. I will take photos before I install them for a before and after. Going to Universal Studios with the family soon, so that HID Kit better do the trick as far as increasing the low beam output for night time driving.
