hey guys i have a set of aftermarket headlights for my 91 camaro. They came with the car and have not been installed yet. Im debating if i should install them or sell them. the car has a nice classic look to it as it is now and in my opinion the lights would be too aftermarket then the stock ones. so i dont know if i should install them or sell them or trade them. the lights are blue and project a blue light as well.

Here is a pic of the car and one of the aftermarket lights

Sell them. Looks like a cheap kit IMO and they never seem to work well.

I would sell those and pick up either Hella e code housings like this or do the free form version. Hella does a nice job with both and when I was using the free form housing in my bird I really liked them.

I agree w/blackbird. Cheap 'upgrade' that most likely will not project the beam correctly or be cutoff at the top. Too 'autozone-ish'. I understand 3rd gen lights aren't great, so an adequate upgrade should be done if your going that route.

Good move. You can market them to G-body Cutlass/Regal/Monte Carlo/Grand Prix owners as well, since they used the same headlights. Not that I would have put them in my old Monte, but someone out there will want 'em.
