Default Where to buy replacement 98-02 camaro housings?

I don't want halos/LEDs/black housings, I just want a decent looking stock replacement housing. Anyone know where to buy one or have experiance with them? I've heard the ebay ones are junk

If I'm thinking of the ones Quiet Storm is talking about, I think he's referring to the ones that have three sections and the middle one has the Halo but they utilize a stock housing. People will take em apart and remove the insert and re-seal em and have a stock housing.

I what you want is true original headlights...you need to try your luck at your local junk yards.

Otherwise...good luck. Even on eBay, a set's is gonna cost from $150-$250.

There is an ebay seller that has oem replica head lights for about $200, ive ordered a set still waiting to see about the quality. I went through and found as many feed backs for the camaro sets I could find before ordering them.

I will be selling my stock ones when replaced. Really didn't want to bother with polishing oxidized plastic multiple times.

Junk yards would most likely be the cheapest method to get something decent.
