Default Where to get these headlights??

I've searched all over ebay & all I could find was the halo style lights, I really don't care for those... Mine are getting pretty bad & would like to find a set of these quick... Thanks in advance!!!

do them yourself. Bake the headlights in the oven at a low temp ~200 for 10 minutes, the front piece peels right off. Then you tape off the areas you don't want to paint. Then paint, not spray, with a black paint. I find i like enamael It's thick and a bit of a pain to work with but it stays glossy. Acrillic is very easy to work with but the one i used was flatish and very grey.

I've got a set, and I don't consider them a 'waste of money'. Personally speaking, the things I'm good at I prefere to do myself (like heads, cam, exhaust, etc). Other things that I'm not so good at I prefer to buy. For the money ($125 or so), I thought these headlights were a good investment.

Thats fine man, but imo its so damn easy to do it would be a waste of money as far as Im concerned, so we will agree to disagree. How about that.

Ok with me. I guess it's all relative. My car is just a big money pit hobby anyway.

Yeah do the Whistler mod, those look like they have those crappy projector style headlight covers over them, they dont look right with just the outter rim painted black.

I won the procarparts ebay auction for them and then 2 weeks later I have to call them and ask where they are. They sent me a fake tracking number and took a long time to refund. Screw them.

I know it's a off topic but I agree with Matt. I sent those folks multiple emails about an ebay auction they had up and not one response. I'll take my business to a company that gives a **** about customer service....

I agree with the folks that say do the whistler mod. I'm normally not good at that stuff either but it was SO easy. Just need to really take your time with prying the lense off.
