Default Best place to buy OEM headlights

I searched online and I have several places to buy OEM replacement headlights, just looking for anyone who them has bought and had good or bad luck, and what sites they used. BTW I mean the headlight assembly. I like the looks of OEM ones more then halos.

I have whistler modded headlights and I like them, its just the lens are beyond shot and cracked. Is there anyplace the just sells the lens? I couldnt find anywhere.

Thanks

I've heard many times that you can buy the halo's.. pull them apart and remove the halo part. Its just an insert. Not sure why they dont sell them without it for $100 too.

ya you can do that but then your still dealing with Ebay quality aftermarket. I'd say search the classifieds for some good used stock OEM's. other wise gmpartsdirect will rape you in price and thats the nicest outcome compared to what a dealership will do to you.

I can snap some pictures for you later. Actually I was planning on polishing them up before I sell them (I have all the stuff anyways)

you could always get something like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...Q5fAccessories

but you'll have to open them up and take out that black insert holding the halo.

hlaalu - Yea if you want to polish them up and take a pic, let me know what you want for them.

The Guz - those look pretty good actually. Do you know anyone that has bought that brand? I like the price of them but is the quality any good?
