wanted to fix my headlights and none of the polishes work well, nor do I like the halo look.

stock headlights:


I bought the cheap halos, but I had a plan:


heated in oven for 10 min at 300 degrees and seperated lenses




painted stock headlights, and reglued halo lenses:


half the cost of new gm headlights, and a custom look

 

Those look good, but you know you can buy DEPO Whistlered headlights for $130 shipped right? How much did these cost to make?

 

$118. I couldn't find stock headlights cheap.....I really like the stockers design

 

found em here, but they wanted $225....ouch

also the depo ones on ebay are $160......still a fair amount cheaper for a few hrs work

 

I just did the same thing my car had halos on it when I bought it. I got some stockers with cloudy lenses and did what you did. Found out that when you pull those halos apart, without the shroud they look stock

 

The edges on the halos were rough on mine, so I used the stickers.. Got pics of yours?

 

everyone started buying them depo headlights so they jacked the price up, but still a good deal. WOW! can you post up a LOT of pix of your car lol Love the color bro!

 

co/signs...

 

I'll try to get some pics for you what exactly do you want pics of

 

If your talking to me, I wanted wlsmku to post up pix of his car. That purple paint looks SICK!!!!!

 

That's a pretty nifty idea and nice work there, dude!

 

I just looked on Amazon the other day and I found them for $130

Nice work either way!

 

just a straight on shot of one to see if it looks like my halo looked...I might have got some bad ones....

ahh - I just pulled up ebay yesterday when you mentioned it, never looked on amazon. good call, I will def pass that on!!

 

thats my other car - I have a lot of pics on here roaming about. got a build thread, but it's been sitting collecting dust for...well...way too long. will eventually be revived, but heres a couple for ya:





and something someone on this site did of one of my pics

 

Nice job man I did this a couple years ago as well when I got tired of the halo look. Only noticeable difference when using the halo headlight is the slight gap around the inside of the lense from removing the halo insert but a lot of people dont even notice it. My stock headlights were not reuseable at all so thats why I chose to just take out the insert and reuse the new lights.

Still though if you can get the halo's cheap enough you can have a real inexpensive set of new looking head lights.

BTW beautiful car!!!

 

halos on car

halos off car. this shows the piece inside the you can remove for those that don't know

here is the halo apart. looks stock except the hole for the halo wire

this is the lense off the stock ones that I replaced with the lense off the halos

and this is the stock headlight with the lense from the halo's

 

Headlights look good OP. I need to do something to mine cause there starting to turn again.

 

where can you get them for $130 for?

 

Just type DEPO Camaro Headlights on Amazon...

 

pretty nice job
