Default just headlight lenses????

can i buy new plastic lenses for my stock headlights?......i've got ebay dual light HID's now, but i'm getting tired of the look and the material quality kind of sucks....i got them because my stockers were too fogged for repair (at least by me).....i noticed they just clip on from when i did the whistler mod, so is there anyone out there who sells the lenses only?....i'd even take smoked lenses if they had them

naa, you're not gonna find just the lens. When I was dealing with that, I just bought the cheapest set of headlights on ebay, which were halos. they were like 99 shipped i believe. pulled them apart when i got them to use the lens and did the whistler mod

nice, i might try this.....i figured they wouldn't match up exactly the same....nothing a little clear RTV couldn't fix i guess.......man, that's a product that needs to be developed, replacement headlight lenses.....not just for our cars, i know several people who'd buy them

it'd be a great idea, but too few people (only "car people") would be willing to pop their headlights in the over and pull them apart to do the work lol.

but yeah, the lenses are perfectly interchangeable. the halo lights are exactly the same as the stock lights, they just have a piece of black plastic in there and the halo light

I did the same thing... They leave a larger gap where the bottom of the lens meets the bumper, but they still fit.

You can also look into just buying a mint condition headights from a camaro if you are looking to spend around 99$.
