Default Best place for stock headlight replacements?

What is the best place to get stock headlight replacements? I DO NOT want the Whistler mod/halos/HID. Fit/finish are more important to me than cost. I looked at some Depot(?) on amazon? If it's a non-sponsor link please feel free to send me a PM.

The car is a 99 Z28.

There were a lot of stock headlights, both new and used, on ebay when I looked extensively last fall and this spring. You may consider looking there, if you haven't already. I wish you the best of luck, dude!

Stick with depo lights. That is your best bet. The depo whistlered lights seem to have good fitment.

Any direct comparisons? Curious as to what's better about them.

If you want stock try your Chevy dealer.

They both have their pros and cons I guess but the sealant used on them is much cleaner than depo's. The weatherstripping needs to be cleaned unlike on depo's but it is a protective powder to prevent marring and scratches. The air/condensation vent ports have a nicer hose on the depo's. TYC uses a smaller logo on the lens. TYC's come with new bulbs. TYC's have a pedestal molded into them then use a screw to attach the low beam shield to it while the depo's mount through the bulb opening which is cleaner. I don't know about the adjusters or the actual fitment 1st hand though, just the housings. I may be forgetting a thing or two.

Do you have a link to where I can purchase the TYC's? I might just order both and return the ones I like the least?

That would work

I would just google around. Body shop gets them through a distributor.
