Just a thing to consider, Most ebay projector/halo lights have a fog light bulb for the headlight projector making light output horrible. I had them and drove from FL to NC at night in a tropical weather system and it was not fun at all. Those headlights are not good for street use. I just got my depo's in a few weeks ago and they look much better and actually shine down the road.

There are also threads on other forums about cheap knockoff ebay lights that leak and need resealed. Headlights are one area you dont want to skimp.

If your factory lenses aren't that bad and can be cleaned up, you can swap out the lenses from the cheap ones they put on the Projector headlights that way they won't haze as fast and since they will more than likely leak, swapping out lenses would require you to re-seal them anyway so if done right, they won't leak.

Just my $0.02 and from what others have posted to solve or at least help the problem some.

I have the exact headlights as the green car above. They look good from a distance but I hate them. They fit bad and the light output is terrible. I will be going with depo lights very soon. Just my experience, others may be different.

Looking to either replace or refinish my headlights, depends whether I want another project to do or not.

Are these the lights you all are talking about:

Amazon.com: Depo 335-1122P-US2 Chevrolet Camaro Headlight Unit Set with Black Bezel: Automotive Amazon.com: Depo 335-1122P-US2 Chevrolet Camaro Headlight Unit Set with Black Bezel: Automotive

My concern is that the stock picture shows only a black bezel (headlight dish is not black) while the customer pictures show both that as well as a version where the dish is also blacked out (the version I'd like). So, which ones are they?
