Default Headlights For 98-02 Camaro

What Are The Best Affordable Headlights U All Have Found On The Net?

Perhaps Aftermarket Originals Or Halos?

Where Can I Get Them And For What Price?

I Can Get The Original Replacements For $120 But I Perfer Some Less Expensive Ones...perhaps Someone Has Some Nearly Perfect Originals They Might Wanna Sell????

GM Originals are worth the extra coin, IMO.

For the record, Halos are the exact same as normal headlights, they just have a plastic insert stuck in to seperate them to 3. You could take apart halos, remove the insert, and they would look exactly like brand new stock lights.

NOT TRUE! You would have a stock headlight WITH A HOLE CUT OUT OF IT for the wires to go through...

I bought a pair of new off brand headlights off eBay for just over $100. They look just like the stock headlights and fit the same. Light output and pattern is the same. I am very pleased with them.

Halo's would be prolly be the cheapest route..but they do not fit like the stock headlights do. It will take quite a bit of adjusting to get them to look right.
