For the headlights search "Whistler Mod"

The only taillights they make for the Z28 are ricer style. There is a sticky on how to use VHT nightshade

I'm trying to decide between Halos or the whistler mod myself. I agree that the only aftermarket tail lights are ricey. +1 on the nightshade.

Sorry guys I forgot about the Halos and the Export lights. The exports usually go for $300+


Thanks

Not sure why anyone like the export style, IMO they look foul. But not as bad as the ricer style though. Halos also look cheap/bad, IMO.

Whistler mod looks "OK" on some color cars (darker colors). Generally, the best looking lenses are stock IMO.

i hate exports! They are better then the stock 97-02 lights but i like 93-96 tail lights the best! See how much beter they flow





As far as headlights i dont like the ricer halo's! The newer ones are a lot beter then the older ones, but my favorite are the stockers with some black added to them. I got my smoked headlights and turn signals at the same time for $200shipped to hawaii from procarparts and i love them. Its harder to fin the headlights now! here they are




I painted my plug flat black and please use clear bulbs!

'97-'02 tail lights are by far the best. '93-'96 are just OK.

Ok? They actually good with the body line! The 97-98 go with nothing and have ugly orange on them!
