DIY kit for retrofitting after market taillights for the Cobalt 4-door.
As we no longer offer completely built retrofitted taillights, we now offer these DIY kits so you can make them yourself. We provide everything you need (with the exception of the lights themselves) and the know-how to put them together. You will receive a link to a series of very detailed instructional videos walking you through step-by-step how to do this. The process is not hard, you just need the right tools, and the patience to go through the different steps. We estimate that the entire process for a first-timer will take 6-8 hours, not counting down time while things dry or cure.
THIS KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE AFTER MARKET TAILLIGHTS!
We provide you with links to online sources for the taillights you'll need to purchase.
