Default Best Halo Camaro headlights for 160??

Just got some unexpected money...looks like I might have enough to get halo lights...where is the best or who has the best out there for 160? I see prices all over the place on ebay. Didnt know if a sponsor has them or best just to hit up ebay. Pics if you have them

Something along the lines of these...



Id buy these if i knew where to find the exact ones and if they were a quality part (not leak or burn out quickly)

I think these would look pretty sweet on a black car.

These are the most inexpensive lights in the style you posted above too. A common problem I've been seeing is the weatherstripping cracks and falls off but otherwise, I think they hold up pretty good.

Dual halos are nice too, I just dont want those little lights on the sides. Kinda want it factory looking and not some cheap knock off. I would like it so when I drive my front end lights look like how BMWs have them, not just have the halo as a fog light, I would want the halos to be my low beams (or high beams, though living in the suburbs dont need highs)

Those are exactly what the OP was looking at. I had them in my Camaro and they worked fine as far as light distribution, but the halo that came with it was so weak that the sunlight and headlights would drown it out making it completely useless. And like you said, the weather stripping eventually began to fall apart.

I have these on my z28, they're pretty sick. But the you can't really see the halo rings on them very well when the lights are on and the lenses get cloudy fast (on mine atleast.) idk about others. But they are pretty dope.

EDIT: yeah the weather stripping sucks too

CCFL rings are a good replacement for the halo rings that come with these ebay lights.

I had that halo lights for about a year and then the rings eventually stopped working. I had them wired to my fogs.



Then I took them apart and made it look like stock headlights again.

And then I bought these sonars w/ HIDs.



I got rid of the LED lights and I rewired the connection to where the power comes from the parking lights.

This is what it looks like w/o the LED strips.

i got mine from ebay for $136 about a year ago. i believe the seller was partsdomain. all in all there holding up great, even after being put in the oven so i could change out the halo color. weather stripping is pretty much shot, but thats kinda to be expected from the cheap ebay ones. I just ripped most of it off, could always just replace the stripping but i am lazy.

I just put my Sonars on couple of days ago. Came out looking good. Really don't mind the 3 LEDs on the side. And it's just 3...not like a whole strip of them.

I agree everyone has there own opinion, i just never thought they looked like the fit the car real well,i will say yours look better than 99% of the ones ive seen,not only that everyone that i know that went with ebay ones it seems like they looked like crap within a short period of time,the trans am guys have pretty good replacements that look way more at home,i know its mo,but i think whistler depos is a much cleaner look,and im sorry if i touched a soft spot just not my taste,i know it hurt a lil to result in name calling,for that im sorry
