headlights and HID's who? what? and where? I have a 2001 camaro i tried really hard trying to get the hazing off of them. in fact i tried for 2 days, sanded, buffed, didnt like it. sanded, buffed, still didnt like it, did it again just not looking as good as i want. so im thinking of buying new headlights but dont know which ones to buy. and today i went to go look at what bulbs r in my fog lights and broke the bulb.
first question. what kind of headlights do i buy ive seen these ones with like a black surround those look nice, but how well will they work with the HID's
second question where do i buy the headlights, does anyone have a perfered dealer? any horror stories
third question where do i buy the HID's again does anybody have a perfered dearler?
r the fog light bulbs available in HID's i think it would look really nice if i got all my lights to be HID's

I'll answer your last question. You can get HIDs for your fogs. I did in January for my TA. Your fog light bulb should be a 894. I bought my slim ballast kit on ebay for like $90 or something, and work great. Better than the HIDs that the PO had put in my GTO. https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ghts-hids.html There's the thread that I made when I installed them. I'll let a Camaro owner answer the other questions, since I never installed HIDs in my Camaro when I had it.

the ones with the black surround are most likely halo's. and to answer one of your questions, hid's work very well with halo's bc they have a projector for the bulb. if you just buy a factory headlight and use hid's, the light is going to scatter on the lense and **** a lot of ppl off lol. BUT, it's completely worth it and i'll never go back to non-hid bulbs. you can pm me if you would like to know one of the best places to get quality hid's.

Great Thread Guys, I am very interested as well about HID's. I have the black halo headlights you speak of in my 99 Z28. I bought them off ebay for 1xx something I cant remember, I am not the biggest fan of the headlights though. It is hard to keep the sitting level and pointed correctly down the road.
Awesome thread, I checked it out and was woundering how hard was it to install the HID's? and how much would you say an entire kit for the headlights and fog lights run?
