I have only ran DDM 55w kits in the alero with no real problems. The cruze headlights however are controled by the ECM and control their drls with lower votage, thus a typical HID kit wont work. (not to mention the tiny factory wiring) I only found one good post over there about a guy trying an orical LED kit (which I was also looking at) He used it in the stock hologen housing.
Findings-
Super bright spot with a very small and dim spread.
The hi and low are projected out the top/bottom of the bulb, making aiming nearly impossible as the reflection in the housing changed so dramatically.
I decided they weren't worth the money. I will wait until some later gen bulbs come on the market that provide better results. Still rocking factory bulbs in the cruze and the same old 55w HID kit in the alero.
