Where is the best deal on headlights?

My headlights are old and ugly. There are so bad I dont even want to bother with restoring them back. Im looking for advice on maybe a website with a good deal on replacing the left and right. Thanks

Yeah, I checked there. I really do not like the cheese grater ones. Looks like it belongs to a Honda or something. Really not alot of options right now.

people are ripping on the "cheese grater" replacement headlamps, however, if you look at a stock 03' and above SL, you will see the cheese grater lamps which come STOCK on these cars.

I'm installing some used Xenon lights on my car. Does yours have xenons? If not, my halogen lenses are in great condition. I will be baking the assembly in the oven and taking off the lens and switching out all components from the xenon kit into my stock assembly (the assembly is the same,a nd the mounting tabs are broken on the kit i have).

So if you have halogen lights, I can send you the halogen lenses out of mine once I get the project finished. They are crystal clear still. Hopefully it's within a month. PM me if you're interested.

Will do. I hope to start in the next week. I just don't know if anything needs to be wired other than the power coming in...there's a plug, but I think its for auto leveling or something.

i dont think the cheesegrater ones are that bad and like said above alot of the newer models come with them stock i think they are pretty nice you could even restore yours to tell you the truth for the money spent might as well upgrade
