What to get: Eagle Eyes Headlights or Sound System?

I need some help! I have a little bit of spare cash and im wondering what you guys think I should upgrade.

I considered the eagle eye headlights but have notice a lot of people having issues with the halo ring going out, and as well all know its not the easiest process to be taking of the bumper various times to re-install ballasts.

I also am considering upgrading the audio to a 5 channel amp with new highs and mids and a subwoofer considering that the sound system in the base camaro's arent top quality.

That being said what do you guys think I should do?

Go with the audio. The stock system really isn't all that great.

This is a tough one. Audio is very important, but those halos make the look of the car IMO. I say flip a coin and decide that way

I would say Eagle eyes, but I have the BA system so the system is bearable

Depending on what you get for a system, you will have to get a dash kit, and those are like 250-300 dollars. I am waiting for Alpines kit to install my Alpine in dash DVD player and subs. Get what you can afford.

no aftermarket head unit needed.

well I am actually thinking about going this route
http://********.com/Car-Audio-Produc...io-AAGM44.html

going to a 5 channel kicker amp
http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-10ZX700-5...item45f8194902

this enclosure
http://********.com/Chevrolet-GMC-Su...b-Package.html

and this amp rack
http://********.com/Chevrolet-GMC-Su...-Amp-Rack.html

Going with a 5 channel so I can eventually upgrade the cheap component speakers in the car.
