Default poll: black halos or clean up stock lights

i have tried to clean up my foggy headlights already, but they just havent gotten to that brand new look, like i have been wanting. so i am contemplating getting some black halo's instead of messing with them. i have already done the painted headlight mod, although it is hard to tell from some of the pics due to the bad condition of my lenses.

so what do you guys think would look best on my car, stock, cleaned and painted headlights of the black halo's?

one bonus of cleaning the stockers would be i could put that money saved towards a grille, either SLP SS or black billet with SS or bowtie emblem. help me out guys!

here are a few pics of my car, one of them is older, i have smoked corners installed currently.

i like the look of the halo's but i am not sure i can deal with the way they done follow the lines of the hood like the stockers. but i do have an empty switch beside my fog light switch since i dont have ASR. that would make a nice spot to wire the halo switch....

It looks good now! Halos would look great on there but your headlights look fien for now. Go with the grille, then after that some halos. -Jim

The new issue of Camaro Performers Magazine has a black SS with black halos on the cover and a pretty good wright up on the whole car. I usually get mine at Wal-Mart, but alot of places don't carry this magazine.

IMO, Halo's don't follow the lines of the car at all. They look "cheap" guess you could say. But that's just my opinion.

I say just clean up the stock lights

The halos only work if only the parking lights are on? or do they work when the headlights are on aswell?

they work with all the lights on, u dont have to intricate them into the lighting system you can just run a switch to them. they have two wires that come out of the back of the housing and just ground the white ones and run a switch to the red wires to turn them on whenever u want. someone should make a how to do page on putting in halos for people who have a hard time with it.
