General LSX Automobile Discussion - Best Aftermarket Headlights

So my headlights are old, and getting that cloudy look. I thought now would be a good time to get a new set of headlights. But I like the look of some of the angel eye halogen bulbs. Can everyone post pictures of their headlights, where they got them, and their experience?

I have been looking at some Ebay ones, for $120 or so. But some people tell me that they will have fitment issues? Is this true?

i went with aftermarkets they were garbage.


i ended up with OE replacements and havent had a problem.

fix yours, add halos... probably have $50 in your new reconditioned lights...

I went with smoked ones off of carID..they have dual halos an look fairly badass at nite..don't know how long they'll last though as they fog up on the inside somtimes!!!

Are there no good aftermarket ones? I like the look of the angel eye.

Will never be as good as OEM....so no. Look around for nice used ones, refinish yours...maybe do the Whistler mod to change their appearance. Whatever you do...try to stick with OE stuff.

I have an eBay angel eye kit using 8000K HIDs and I love them and I get complements all the time. I wax them everytime I wash the car, fitment was great and no problems so far. I've had them for about a year.

I would get the depo headlights off of amazon. They are already have the whistler mod.

Ahh, victory!

How much they cost you? Have any pictures you can post of them?

These are the exact headlight. I purchased a combo where I got matching black corners, so after that and buying the HID bulbs/ballasts I paid about $300. I don't regret a single dollar of it either! :)

Oh, and in my profile you can see pics of the headlights. They're taken with an old phone so they're not supre clear, but you'll get the idea.

Double the price of amazon currently, but I think he said that he is working on that.

i went with the sonar headlights and put 4500k hid's in them and i'm pretty happy.
was almost 2 and a half years ago and they're still great. not up to oem quality (mount strength, overall quality), but they're holding up better than i expected. they look like new except for the deteriorating weather stripping.

i disconnected the halo's and LED side lights. there's a threat about them on here somewhere about these specific headlights.

Looks like the pictures of your car in your signature don't have those new headlights if I'm correct?

Look great, terrible quality.

IMO, nothing looks good on these cars other than the stock headlights, or maybe whistlered stock lights.

Exactly what kind do you have? Just so I know to avoid those.

I think the whistlered are a vast improvement. The weakest and least attractive part of this car is the headlights, IMO. That's what makes them look like a Chrysler Concorde. The whilstered headlights set them apart, make it look more aggressive.

Aggressive is a matter of opinion I guess. I think the whistler mod looks good for dark colored cars, not so great on the light colored cars though.

I've never had a problem with the appearance of a stock F-body though (aside from the SAP cars.... I don't like the body kit), so I'm not really interested in most appearance mods myself. If this is your thing though, then go for it. :)

What's SAP?

So you don't think the whilstered headlights would look good on mine...?

What's SAP?

SAP = Sport Appearance Package. It's the ground effects and extra spoiler lip that was optional on Z28 and V6 models.

It's not particularly common, but also not so rare that you never see it. I still seem them once in a while, but a lot of people have removed those kits over the years since many don't like it.

So you don't think the whilstered headlights would look good on mine...?

Well like any appearance mod, it's just a matter of opinion and all that matters is what you like since it's your car. But personally, I probably wouldn't do that on a white/silver/pewter car. If you must do something to modify the headlights though, whistler would be the way to go IMO. Halos and projectors look foul IMO, but that's because I prefer more stock looking cars. Others may not agree. The only right answer is the one that belongs to the car's owner. ;)
