Default Which headlights???

I have a 2000 z28 silver and am In need of new headlights desperately!! Should I go with the knock off stock ones, projectors, or halos. I want black headlights so any advice on which ones and were to get them would be appreciated as ebay is not revieling many options. I want to solve this anoying problem once and for all. I got the TTII's and tinted windows so am going back and forth between possibilities and any advice would be appreciated.......Thanks!!!

halos all the way, or you could always just do the whistler mod to your stock headlights.

Leave them stock. Everything else looks terrible. All is M.O. only.

I have a set of Sonar projectors on my car too. Together with HIDs they work pretty well. I had a set of the other ones that Scotts98 has (Eagle Eyes) and while I like the styling on those a little better (no funky chrome ring around the projector, the high beam reflector is all within the halo ring instead of beyond it, and the halos are brighter) I found the light output of the sonars is better.

IMO, it is Sonar projectors > Eagle Eyes projectors > stockers as far as light output.

It does but finding the stockers is a pain!! Only thing I could think of Is the replica stockers of ebay. I really want the black halos but searched on ebay and there wasn't many options to choose from if any??? F'in headlights are driving me nuts every time I see a 6cyl camaro on the road I want to gank their freekin headlights.

honestly get what you like..i personally like the look of whistler headlights because they look more like they came on the car, halos and projector lights dont. Not to mention when i had halos they just seemed to look odd after a while on the car. I personally would buy some ebay knockoffs (they actually look and fit just like the oem ones) and paint them and call it a day.

So the knock off stockers fitt good cause it was either those or the angel eye halos and if worst comes to worst the projectors. **** I cant decide!!!!!!! In the end I'll probbaly just order the knock -off stockers and whistle them then get black turn signals front and rear and call it a day...

Whistlers and black corners look good on a silver car

i bought a pair from someone and used the lenses..i already had painted my stock headlights but the lenses were blurry so i just swapped the lenses from the knockoffs and they fit perfectly on the oem housing. Then my friend used the aftermarket housings and painted them and they fit fine on his car, you honestly cant tell they are aftermarket.
