Default ebay "stock" headlights?

Im tired of the Halo look, would like to go back to stock headlights but dont really want to pay the price for brand new stock gm headlights.

I believe those are the ones I brought. I think I paid $238 for the pair. I installed them back in September of 10 and haven't had any issues. I do remember having to strech the rubber gasket on one and I little bit of adjusting the angle of the light but other wise happy with them.

i have ebays on my car, eagle eye brand or something like that, i think they were about 240 a pair as well. i was skeptical about them at first, but theyre almost 2 years old, not a bit of leakage, no hazing, and my car isnt garage kept by any means, its a sleet hail snow daily driver, if you want stock lights go for it.

i plan on doing the whistler mod to mine at some point, but im not sure how they will react compared to factory lights

the ebay corner lights on the other hand.... im not going to get into detail on those leaky bastards

edit: looking back i swear i paid less than that for them, maybe it was 140 for the pair

^^ Yea i think there's different prices on some of those sets of headlights and i know what you mean by the corners. I got a set last year, didnt last very long maybe 3months or less. The bulbs melted to the bottom of the corner frame i guess you call it.

Im probably going to pull the trigger and get a set of these headlights sunday night.
