Default headlight upgrade

im looking for a stock headlight upgrade. it could be something just as simple as new bulbs or whole new headlight assembly. budget isnt really a concern as long as its under $250. im lost when it comes to headlight types, there is projector, halos, led, im lost. i dont want anything that requires re-wiring and sottering, unless it is very basic.

They make vehicle specific HID kits, there is a write-up on them somewhere on the site.

Halo headlights are nice, you can get them for like $120 on ebay. The only wiring you have to do is for the halos, which you can use quick connectors into the parking lights. I don't personally like projectors, but that's just my opinion. Not all cops and inspection places appreciate HIDs because they are not stock...

I vote halo's. They give your car a unique look for a really decent price.

Halos look fairly stock as well, there's just an added section for the halo itself. And you can get different housings. I think they offer black and chrome. Black looks better though, imo.

^Agreed. The black looks pretty mellow until you turn them on, then they shine

Well... I found some on DDM tuning. I have them in my Impala. They mount up fairly easily and are bright as hell. No problems with mine so far.

From what I've read about DDM Tuning, they take a while to ship it.

That they did, buuuut ya can't beat the price. I just keep a couple spare halogens in the glovebox in case one of the HID's burns out since it did take a couple weeks to get mine.
