lt1 exterior lighting opinions needed
Two things I am working on:
Headlights: I don't want to pay a ton of money for HID setups but I wouldn't mind getting a halogen that gives off a bright white tint. Can anyone recomend a good headlamp? 1.) I know you have to buy the whole unit and I have seen sylvania ones and thats about it. 2.) The other option is getting the crystal clear housings off of ebay where u can plug just bulbs in the back of them... so that might give more leway with bulb selection? anyone try either of these?
Corner lights: I just installed clear corner/turn signals. I don't want to put the amber colored bulbs in because I feel they look like a scambled egg inside of the clear light. I have a couple other options. 1.) get the led switchback lights where they switch from white led running lights to amber when the signal goes off. They are 25 a piece plus another 10 a piece for the second bulbs in the housing. so I am looking at least 75 bucks. 2.) second option is getting these amber lights that are tinted silver/gray so u cant tell they are amber and when they light up they light up amber. I found them on a website called xenonmods. they are 12 a SET and 9 a SET for the other lights in the housing, so I am looking at 22 bucks if i go that route.
Any help of opinions would be great!

Best bet would to be search e-bay for a H4666 or H4656 housing with a replaceable bulb. Then you could just go up to AutoZone and buy some Silverstars for the headlights. Foglights you could basically just buy any aftermarket housing and the light output would be better than stock. I've got HIDs in my fogs and love them and working on a HID setup for the headlights
