2000 Grand Prix Headlights

[Benji93]

I'm looking into getting some new headlights for my Grand Prix but I'm not really sure on what to get. Any suggestions?

What are you looking for: stock replacement or projectors?

If you're considering projectors, the only ones I'd come close to recommending are the Spyder Auto ones. They look like this:

They come in either black or chrome housings with either LED or CCFL halos. The CCFL halos are a lot brighter.

They're not perfect. They have alignment issues (the projectors are pointed inwards making the beams cross), and on some cars they shake/vibrate. Even with the issues, the light output is significantly better than the stock headlights. You can search the forum for more info on these problems and how to fix them.

All of the other GP projectors use H3 projectors, which don't have anywhere near the throw of the H1 projectors in the Spyder headlights.

how about something closer to stock, but with a twist? id like a 1 piece lense

retrofit some black housed stock headlights.

 

[JarenSTi]

cool...

id say projectors or headlights with clear corners

 

[andremike]

links.. brands.. what exactly do the projectors do for me? other than look cool?

Is there any special wiring that needs to be done? or do they just plug in?

 

[Kasey]

why dont you try looking

 

[andremike]

Because I want to hear other peoples opinion... what is their experience...

Another option is some DIY painted black housings. Painted OEM lights have the same output as the factory lights. The ebay black headlights have a smaller chrome reflector. Therefore the lesser light output on the ebay black headlights.

I'm going with clear....clicky clicky

Probably going to order them in the next few months; both my corners leak as bad as my old tail lights. :th_laugh-lol3:

Reading> Tina just sayin...

 

[Tina]

Your point? I actually had a question re: headlights on my Grand Prix but when I saw how people were being treated I decided not to ask in this forum. Just sayin...

Tina needs to re-read. One person said "why dont you try looking". 15 posts and one bad thing... not to bad considering the amount of people that want info spoon-fed to them, rather than spending 2 minutes searching.

And to keep on track, here are my headlights from RockAuto..... :th_nanana:

Bronco Boy - nice looking lights! How long have you had them installed? Any issues with leaking?

Looking for a stock looking replacement for both by headlights and tails and have heard a few good reviews so far on the TYC heads and tails.

Bronco Boy - nice looking lights!

Thanks.

How long have you had them installed? Any issues with leaking?

Coming up on one year next month. No leaks at all, and I'm on the "Wet-Coast".

I just bought a second pair of these housing for my projector retro-fit. I give TYC two thumbs up. Check out Spyder for LED tails.

Thanks for the info!! Did you get the "regular inventory" or "capa certified"? Capa is twice the price at $70 a piece.
