Default Camaro headlights...

Does anyone have GM part #'s? I tried finding them on GM Parts Direct, no dice. My original headlights are pretty much toast, and I want to replace them. I saw some aftermarket units on eBay, but I'm leary of using aftermarket lights - lack of quality, etc.

FYI - don't even suggest I buy those euro lights they sell on eBay.

I am not a fan of them at all... if you like them, more power to ya! But they aren't for me.

TTT...

Does anyone have any known sources for aftermarket head lights that are stock replacement and look good?

Ebay has some good prices. If you go to GM expect to spend 300 a light.

I got mine from ebay, both for 175 and they are the same as stock. No leaks with them yet and they have been on for 1 year.

You don't happen to know the eBay seller or the brand of lights they are, do you?

Holy old posts Batman!

If anyone cares, I ended up sanding my headlights down - starting with 80 grit. Then going finer each step. Lastly, I buffed them out and they came back to life. It was very tedious, but saved me lots of cash.
