    Amazon for both probably. Headlights here: Pontiac Grand Prix Headlights OE Style Replacement Headlamps Driver/Passenger... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RMT90W..._ws_us?ie=UTF8

    Tail lights there are lots of LED options. I think because problems with these tail lights are so commom, prices on these are sky high. For me, I just bought VHT nightshade and plan on tinting the oem tail lights myself for about $20. Also going to reseal them and put in some LED bulbs.

    Also, if you want projector headlights or HID's done right, there is a member on here called "ClassyPontiac" that will make custom projector headlights for you. Just look him up, research what you want and PM him.

    Thanks! I probably won't buy aftermarket, might use the vinyl headlight/taillight covers that you can apply yourself ? Ever heard how those turn out?

    a lot of use will just use VHT spray on tint and clear coat. comes out like glass if done right and cant be stolen off your car.


    the fronts you can wet sand them to clear the plastic up, then buff to a shine with compound.

    head light on the left is sanded and buffed, right side nothing. its a bad pic but you can't see the back of the right side one through the lens. left side you can.

    I just looked at some of the kits to sand and polish the headlights. Seems like 3m makes a good one with a sanding/buffing plate that attaches to a drill. There are three levels but it seems like the only thing you get when you pay more is a wax/sealer which you can use any decent wax. As usual, shop around and research. Here is a youtube video on the 3m headlight restore:

    Here are spyder LED tails red smoked, look really good. Kinda expensive about 168. If you get replacement headlights use your stock mounting brackets so you dont get headlight bounce.
