Smile new headlights or not?? opinions??

Okay I've been doing subtle changes to my car for the new year and recently painted my wheels black and thought they turned out great. I will be painting my grill black as well soon.

But...I was wondering what you guys thought about changing the headlights. Should I keep it the way it is or change it up a bit. Here is the car as it sits today.

Should I get one of these three choices or leave it the way it is cuz it looks great!!

Give me your opinions on what you guys think. Thanks!!

Just whistler them first and see if you like it. Then if not, check into other ones.

If you are just going for looks, leave them alone... functionality... none of those choices.

I personally like the 3rd link but I'm not crazy on the halo/aftermarket lights. If you do buy those, i would suggest upgrading the halos to CCFL and going HID if the headlights aren't HID already.

This thread has some good info if you want to look there and get an idea of how to make the the headlights you listed above better

Leave it alone. I wasn't feeling any of the ones you linked. Whistler would be a good idea though for a nice but subtle change.

I've seen some covers on Camaro headlights, not those dark gto ones. They partially covered the lights. Don't have a clue if they are still made or where to get them.

yeah I actually have a set of what your referring to. it changes teh look of the headlight very subtle kinda looks like the whistler mod but not quite.

I just wanted something different. i mean these headlights are new and look great! just wanted to change the look of the nose a bit

from reading other posts about aftermarket headlights....sonars, projects etc.. it seems most people don't like the look of them. I don't really care about quality because the car rarely gets driven and is never in bad weather.

Keep it the way it is. Any of those will only hurt the appearance of your car. IMO

Yeah. Mine were really yellow. Then I cleaned them and I was like WOW! They look awesome when they are all new and clean looking. Then I Whistlered them months after. I know what you mean though about them being clean.

What he said ^. I have gotten to the point to where I can't stand any type headlight other than stock cause none of the ones I have ever seen seem to flow and look good on these cars cause it looks like alot of headlight companies focused on seeing how much they could stuff into a Camaro headlight versus the integrity and durability of them causing them to look cheap IMHO.

Yeah you can. I had the same set he has in mine and I wired them to the DRL and when I turned on the DRL's, the HALO's and side LED's came on but if I turned on my turn signal, they didn't flash with the turn signal. The middle part between the High and Low beam, I was gonna wire that part up to flash when I hit the turn signal but I ended up went back to stock lights cause after I got them and put em in my car, I didn't like them after all. But that's just me though.

They're all about the same between vendor and ebay. I bought the sonar headlights off ebay and they were all around a good headlight, only problem was the black seal around the headlights needed to be reglued down.
Here's what I used to have.
