Search ebay. There are aftermarket headlights made for a camaro which include projectors. There are a buch of threads on here as well if you search projectors. Best light output that I have seen so far are from the sonar projectors.

Why can't there be a company out there that makes a projector headlight without those stupid LEDs?! The top projectors would be perfect without them.

these aren't too bad...



If I were in the market for a set of headlights, I'd go with a set of CCFL halos, much brighter than LED halos, but you get the 3 LEDs as shown in the second pic I posted previously.

I been wishing all these years that someone makes a Black Headlights with a projector but none of those extra things they add.

I dont think it will ever happen. Maybe we can do a petition ?

At least the camaro's have multiple inexpensive options for projector lamps, the firebirds have nothing at this point that isn't custom fabrication.

I've been thinking about getting a set to crack open and fill in the ridges and get rid of the LED's. I have a set currently and the LED's don't look that bad I've grown to like them:

Yeah, I have been wanting to do something similar.

I would really like to get those and remove those smooth lenses with no nipples, and put them on my whistler headlights

The best option for aftermarket lights is those sonars that cobrahunter posted. They have the least going on inside the housing

Those are nice, but I wish the projectors were further to the outside
