Default Headlights??

Well my headlights are oxidized to no return. I've wet sanded, polished, over and over with terrible results. Then I did the whistler mod and after I spray painted the ruffled part I decided to use some rubbing alcohol to clean up the insides before I replace the lense. Without removing the tape that was masking off the reflective part the alcohol leaked all over the place. When I removed the tape the frickin reflective paint came right off with it. Now my headlight look like shart!!! Were can I find a good set of headlights for cheap or should I fork out the money and get new ones from GM?????

I couldn't find any cheap "great condiiton" headlights used to save my life. These things are priced like they're going out of style. So, instead of paying someone $150 or $160 for a used set, i just went to eBay and bought a new set for $209 shipped to me.

I got my halo's for $142 shipped with the chrome housing. I dont think the black housing would cost anymore then that. $209 is a good price for a new set though.

It's a good deal I was thinking about getting them for myself but I actually got projectors and am using mine for the retro I believe.
