They have the cheapest RS headlights that you can buy...
Hey Bro, hows everything with the spyder tail lights?I will black out my rear trunk(only on the rear bowtie) with vinyl and may be some black bezel and ZL1 spoiler.

I just want to try something different. Everyone's got the OEM RS lights

There are many out there willing to pay a fair price for those OEMs if you're willing to part with them if you go after market including myself.

Those look good! But, aftermarket headlights often have inferior plastic and weatherstripping. It gets damaged by UV and weather changes much faster than a GM headlight.

I changed out my headlights on my 4th gen from factory to aftermarket, and they looked terrible one year later, and all the weatherstripping fell apart

Bearing in mind my location,it might not be the best purchase you make in terms of cost

I really like the aftermarket lights...I just worry about the halo's not showing up at night with the HIDS...but if you can wait, I would get the OEM's
