Default Whister Headlights or Halo Headlights?

Moment of truth, I have cash in hand, its burning a hole in my pocket. I have 3 options...

1. Keep my black Whitler modded headlights
2. Halos with the single middle halo
3. Dual halos

What would everyone go with. I want my Camaro to have a nice subtile look to it and not a cheesy autozone looking front end. I plan on doing clear corners if I can find a set that looks good. Sorry for the multiple threads, I guess you guys are like my car buddies, I come to you for your thoughts, and ask my friends, I overanalize (sp?) every single mod I do, but I feel in the end I will have built the perfect car for me. Thanks in advance my LS1tech buddies!!!

I would keep the whistlers. if you HAD to go with the halos, the duals look better. I would spend the money elsewhere

Whistlers or dual halo. Single halo just doesn't flow with the front of the car. hood has 2 bumps, single halo in between the bumps? Nahhh...

My vote is stick with the whistlers. If you are dead set on buying a new set of lights, I'd go with the semi-whistler lights on ebay. $136 shipped I believe.

Ive been thinking it over and I may just go with clear corners and put this money towards the front splitter and maybe the rear valance panel but then again, I did drive to Green Bay for a grill lol

Thanks, the only thing is mine need to be sanded and polished again, they keep on getting hazy...also the tabs on the back are broken off on the passenger side. IDK if I can get just the tab bracket off a junk one or not, Id have to look. I love how the whistler mod looks on my Camaro, just figured if I had to get new lights, mind as well upgrade, but the more Ive read, alot of people get halos and go back to the stock ones or whistler modded ones.

Also I try and avoid car "trends" I ask myself with stuff like this if its gonna get played out like clear taillights, murdered out black cars, etc. I want something that will look nice throughout the years. I think I ask too much some times lol

The only stuff that is going to look good through out the years is stock stuff.

Thats kinda what Im thinking. I want to try and do my best with GM parts and still have a Camaro that stands out among other stock looking Camaros.

Thats a good question, but in my Halo "research" I found halos are stock Camaro lights with just the halo insert in them. If you remove them, its a stock Camaro light. Figured if nothing else, I may just buy one to have mint covers and redo the whistler mod.

Alright, guess the decision is made, huh? lol Does anyone know offhand (it would save me the trouble of pulling the headlights) if the lights backing with the 2 mounting tabs can be removed and transfered to another light? Mine are broke on the pass side. Next question if so...anyone have a junk light laying around?
