Thread: Final Thoughts on a Set of Headlights??

I haven't had them, I wouldn't recommend them and I'm sure others wouldn't recommend them either. They arn't that good for the money.

First one's have horrible light output. Stay away from those. The second set will have horrible light output since they are tinted. I would either pick up a set of stock replacements or have Classy Pontiac retrofit a set for you with the right projector.

Brackets on those projectors suck big penis. Those are the ones people most commonly buy because they dont look like a bug (like the first set)

But they all suck... The brackets are awful and you need to put weatherstriping under the headlight and around the corner to remedy the issue a bit. If you really want good output, retrofit is the way to go.

Like everyone else has said those type of projectors suck. I had them for once summer and immediately took them off and replaced them with retrofits. I love the retrofits and will never replace them. They're really worth the money. And if you don't have the money just save for a bit longer. It'll be worth it.

I would even buy those. The chrome reflector is smaller making light output horrible. Your best bet if you want black headlights like these is to get an OEM style one, open them up and paint them to look like the black headlights.

That and the price posted for these is ridiculous. 159 dollars for standard headlights that were cracked open and someone wiped off the extra chrome off the housing.

OP the best options are the 60$ Stock Replacments, or fork out the dough for retros. And those are pretty much the best bang for buck options. Unless you wanna be a dbag like me and run HIDs in your stock reflector housings.
