Default Projector headlights

The Body Shop at the dealership I work for did some work to my ISS yesterday!

Tinted taillights, removed IMPALA, painted SS and Chevy emblem


Front Chevy Emblem


SS Emblems on side. Still need to remove some glue from the "GM square"



Next, I need to know a good set of Projector headlights (black). So then I can complete the whole set. Suggestions please! Oh and the new Nebraska plates are God awful ugly!!

Only 1 company makes the projector headlights for our cars, and they break easily. A lot of sellers on ebay and around the internet have them for various prices. You may be happier going with the black DEPOT brand headlights. Much nicer, less ricey, better build quality. Or so it seems.

I thought I'd never be the one to say this, BUT I don't like the blacked out tails on your Imp. I think it takes away from the look of the car. The SS's and bowties look great though!!

Blacked out does look a little iffy on it, but it's his car and he likes it.

The black DEPO headlights are sweet as hell. The projectors almost give the car a down syndrome look.

So true. I tried the projectors, and they suck for a couple of reasons. As mentioned, the adjusters break really easily. In fact, I had to ship back the passenger side twice because the up-down adjuster screw was broken out of the box. The second reason is, the bulbs used in those projectors are H3s, which are basically a fog lamp bulb. There wasn't even close to enough light, and I was running HIDs. I took them out after a week and resold them.

I'm running DEPOs in my Impala now, and they're BADASS:

With how big our head lights are, they really show have came with a black headlight like this. It just looks so much better. On any color car too.

I saw an Impala with projectors today, it didn't look very good and they were completely clouded over.
