Default Camaro people... Where did you get your smoked headlights and corners?

Seriously.. I've been searching for a bit and I want to get smoked headlights and corners for my 98 Z28 but can't find em anywhere.
I figure they'll look good on my silver car with all the black trim it has from the factory and the tint, and SS wheels.

Thanks in Advance.

What do you mean by smoked headlights? If you're refering to just the lense, then VHT nightshade will do the trick. If you're refering to the part where you paint the inside - you want Whistler headlights, or the ones that ProCarParts sells.

As for the corners, ProCarParts or Ebay are your best bet.

Then click the link I posted. Its a complete write up on how to do the Whistler headlight mod. I would post pics of mine, but being my headlights have more haze on them then a nice london morning, its pointless.

In august I bought smocked corners off ebay, I waited and waited and never got them. I emailed the seller several times telling him to give me a refund, but he kept giving me different excuses. Finally about two months later he sent me a refund. So I would say to be careful and check out the guys feedbacks before you buy them.

Thanks but Ive already tried something similar, and it made them 10x worse.

Im just waiting on my refund check from ECU and I'll be getting brand new headlights from ProCarParts like Remi has. I'll probably crack those babies open and finish the Whistler mod all the way lol. Once I do that, Im one step closer to the appearance being done

Just buy clear corners and smoke them yourself using VHT niteshades. Here's what mine look like (I used 3 good coats, so they're on the darker end of the spectrum, but you can def just slightly smoke them if you want).
