LS1 Camaro headlights.

Hey guys I bought a nice navy blue 2001 Camaro Z28 today. The headlights on the car are foggy and I'm looking to buy some after markets with the halos.

Heres some I found that look alright to me but I'd like some opinions. Thanks.

Or these.

idk man for some reason those halo projector lights have always reminded me of imports...but i think black would look better for a navy ls1.

u know what else would look sick?


..something like that. its got a stock feel to it but at the same time aftermarket...if that makes sense hahah.

actually i'd go with these. its all black housings with only blue halo rings. the leds in the corners of the first are a little much and the 2nd set is chrome all over. this would look mean on a navy car. and get the sidemarkers and turn signals in the black housisngs. maybe throw some VHT Nightshade on them too? hahaa

Blue magic makes a headlight lens restorer. I've used it on 3 cars already and it took all the yellow and haze out. One car I used the blue magic plus an electric buffer and it made it crystal clear.

You can also try Meguire's PlastX... That helped my friend out.

That looks like the Whistler Mod. Anyways i have Halos on my camaro. They sit a little far back so there is a gap between the headlights and the bumper. But they still look good. If i were you i would go with the Whistler Mod, its cheaper first of all and you use the OEM headlights that you have. There is a thread on LS1tech.com on how to do it.

I like the ones posted with the black housing and blue halo's. I'm not a fan of the stockers.

I went with the black halos with the single ring and clear corners with black backgrounds. I like the dark look of them during the day, and the ring looks ok at night. Definitely get some brighter bulbs though, the housing does not throw much light. They seem cheaply made compared to the stockers. The clear corners were not air tight and filled up with water when it rains/car wash. I had to silicone them up.

If I were to do it again, I would keep the 120 and do the whistler mod and get a can of niteshade for the corners.
