you can find some pretty nice new ones on ebaymotors....this site in the for sale section, and maybe even a junkyard...as far getting OEM GM headlights that are brand new, good luck with that getting them for cheaper

List price is $334.98 per light, if you look around, you can find them for about $85 bucks cheaper, per side. A/M is a better solution, unless you can find nice used ones.

A/M = Aftermarket

A buddy of mine just got a set for $60 shipped from someone on one of the fbody boards and he only had to polish up one of them and they look brand new. Keep you're eye out you could find some nice deals.

I paid $120 for a set of used, perfect stock ones. After two years, they still look great.

You can get Camaro Black Angel Eyes Projector Headlights cheaper than you could getting new stockers.

There is a couple of guys on here who work for GM, they can get new oem parts cheaper than your dealership.
