THEY ARE ON EBAY, KEEP SEARCHING. Many sellers have them. They just might not all be selling them right now...keep looking.

here's how i see it:

-stock headlights (no whistler mod) or chrome halos = clear or stock corners

-smoked headlights (whistler modded or black ones) or black halos = smoked/black corners

i bought the headlights that come already smoked black, b/c my lenses were too bad to clean up, and i got the smoked markers to match. i think they turned out great

Ok I want these:



Which are NOT these:



Notice the ones on the red car are black where the others are chrome.

SO, where do I get the ones on the red car? All I can find are the ones pictured from procarparts...

Anyone know where DansRedz28 got his???

I think the smoked look great BUT I love the look of a ls1 vette/camaro/TA coming down the road in the daytime with those yellow driving lights on. I think they look great and set the car apart.

Just my opinion

I went with clear but I think smoke would look good on a red car as well. As others have said just make sure you seal any aftermarket corners with silicone before installing them or you will get water in them the first time you wash the car most likely.

I'd also be careful with procarparts. They have a nasty habit of not answering emials even when it is in regards to ebay auctions they have up. I sent them 5 emails in the course of a month to ask a question about auction items they had listed and I never got a response.

Jumping on this clear or smoked thread; Ive been looking at getting Lamin-x in smoke (think the charcoal may be too dark) and doing ALL the lights: head, turn, side, tail and center stop. Anyone else use this stuff?

I think I tend to agree with him, what does everyone else think?

Here's the black housing ones:



Here's the clear ones:



Thanks for any input!

Smoked. I got those with my red SS and I like them!
