that headlight looks like something out of a sci-fi movie! Looks neat if the quality is good.

As for the tail lights ... I don't know, I'd go for #1 but I'd have to see them on the car to tell for sure.

id say keep your stock tail lights and just tint them or get LT1 style taillights, any aftermarket ones just dont look right in my opinion. and id stay away from halos as well, the fitment is horrible unless your one of the lucky ones, do the whistler mod. this all just MY OPINION!

If you had to get some tail lights and you couldn't find any stockers, than i would say 1. That is only if you can't find stockers. If you do get one i would invest in some vht.

I love my Halos, and would like to go to some nice Projection Halos, but don't understand why they can't just do nice blacked out lights with the halos without all that extra crap all around the lights on the inside of the housing. I did install some halos that had LED's going up the outside like the new Audi's do, it didn't look bad, I would just rather it be smooth around the light.

Don't like any of the tails though. And the whistler mod looks good, but simple Halo's look better IMO.

The other projectors look much better than the ones posted. Check my sig for pics. The LED tailights would look ok if it wasn't for the two red reflectors in the middle.

Headlights look pimp, but if it was my Camaro, I wouldn't put any of those taillights on.
