Default Where to buy "store-bought Whistlers" Headlights

Where can I buy a set of brand new Whistler stye headlight? I have been looking and can't find them. All I seem to run into are the halo's both with black and chrome.

I found them by typing "Camaro headlights" on ebaymotors, but if i were you i wouldn't do it because the full whistler mod looks 10x better than the half-*** one.....

Ah, I think I found the difference. The full has more painted correct? If so, you are right they do look much better.

Please dont buy them. Instead just do it yourself. The ones you buy doesnt paint it fully and it looks dumb imo.

Maybe I will buy them and then do the full mod to them. The headlights I have now have a lot of haze.

I think the half whistler mod looks much better than the full whistler.

Don't buy them. They will haze on you real quick. My car sits outside in the sun all the time, so that surely didn't help.

You can hardly tell its done to the "half" ones....just a waste imo. The real deal looks much better.
