I saw those the other day while searching for new headlights for mines, crazy thing is you could go to the dealer and get them for a few hundred cheaper.

I gave up on trying to find "authentic" OEM headlights and bought some China knock-off's for a couple hundred off of Amazon, plastic is plastic, hopefully they fit. I've read GM gets theirs from Depo anyways.

Maybe they're hoping for dumb people who think: most expensive = best

I was thinking about it and realized I got my snazzy set of custom BLS lights for less than that, HID kits, harnesses, and all. For the price you could get two standard BLS sets pretty much.

I don't think so, at least not originally for the Camaro. My Depo lights that BLS used have a few differences and markings than the OEM lights did.

Lol don't be so quick to believe everything u hear on the Internet. I used to work for Chevy dealership in the parts dept. they are definitely not depot headlights which I have, u can tell depo is cheap crap. Bracket is flimsy, headlights unadjust themselves, rubber trim barely hanging on with double sided tape...

When I said that, I wasn't talking about the original headlights that came on a 98-02 Camaro, I was talking about the replacements that they have available nowadays. I definitely read on here a while back that the replacement headlights that GM has are now made by Depo, I think it was even a mod who posted it. Plus, to make matters worse they want to charge you like $5xx for them.

Mine aren't any flimsier than my OEM brackets, the adjustments haven't budged (and we have some rather rough roads here), and the rubber appears to be the same (time will tell of course).
