Default 93-97 BLSolutions projector lighting

Am I the only one who thinks that the BLSolutions plug and play projector headlight kit for the 93-97 Camaro is just plain ugly,, and not to mention the 1K + price tag on them. Are there any other plug and play kits out there anywhere at an affordable price that are not as ugly as a mud fence??

No there are no other plug and play projector kits, that's why they made them in the first place.

As far as the ugly side, well, what do you find ugly about them? Round peg (projector) in a square hole is always going to look a little odd, not much you can do about that.

There aren't any other plug-and-play solutions.

However, there are other options if you are handy. Look in the Lighting FAQ.

Somehow I suspect the projectors in those are probably pretty craptastic, as most aftermarket projector lights tend to be.

I like how they are blacked out yet throw out more light than the 90s could have dreamed of.

To each their own of course. If we could build them cheaper and sell more, we would. Our intent with these was to fit the lines of the car and offer the performance of a projector. Your issue with our offering is aesthetics so there will be no changing your mind on that. Since you feel very strongly about the looks, what exactly did you have in mind?

There are plenty of write-ups for alternatives so feel free to explore those via the Lighting FAQ.

Im not exactly sure on what I would want out of the looks, I just know I like my factory headlights that I see a lot people dislike. From what I have seen your lights look like little black boxes with fish eyes, as I haven't really got a clear detailed pic of them.
