Default Camaro Headlights, lets see some options,

My headlights need attention. Either clean them, whistler mod, Halo's, etc.,

Lets see what you have. Red cars even better.

Checking on ebay, I was thinking about these.

I like the whistler mod, but a friend of mine had issues with his. Lenses kept fogging and the weatherstripping on them would not stay connected.

X2, not a fan of the single halos... though you could buy a set and open them up to do the whistler mod to them and remove the halo insert piece. Those halos are the same as stock headlights except for that insert.

i'd like a set of halos but it seems the fitment is horrible. i'm trying to figure out a "sleeve" i can make for the stock headlights where they can accommodate a halo ring. then i can have the best of both worlds.

I keep reading people having fitment issues with halos. I have had 2 sets and everyone i know who has them they got them to fit good . yes if you just take them out of the box and throw them on they fit like crap but if you play around with the adjustments and get them lined up right they fit almost like stock. I have black halos now and they look good IMO. I like the whistler mod but hate when the stockers start fadding .

@ SOMSS1LE, where did you get your black blinker lights/what is the brand? Pretty awesome. Just got halos but thinking of the whistler mod if I can clean the haze off my stock headlights.
