Default Recommend me some parts

My 2000 Z28 was in an accident and now I'm in the process of buying the parts back to fix it. I've got a hood, grille, and headlights to replace with some aftermarket pieces. I had a SS hood so I'm pretty set on going back with it unless I find something I like better. What do you guys think I should go back with for the lights, hood, and grille? Thanks. The car is white with a SS rear spoiler to by the way.

I would not use those headlights. If I remember correctly, they use H3 bulbs which are not intended and not good enough for headlights. They are for fog lights.

Instead get the Sonar projector headlights or put OEM HID projectors into a stock or aftermarket set of headlights.

Check out the Lighting FAQ for more info on that (and some recent threads in this section).

Looks like that website does have the Sonar headlights as well:
http://www.dashzracing.com/98-02-che...m98-hl-bk.html
However, it says they use 9005 bulbs for the low beam. Except they don't. Unless these are different/custom version, the Sonar projectors use a H1 bulb for the low beam.

If you look on ebay, you can find them cheaper with HID kit.

No Problem.

If you really want the best output, retrofit real OEM HID projectors in the stock housings or an aftermarket set (people have done both and its in the Lighting FAQ).
