Headlights For My Ride *HELP*

Ok. I don't like the projector headlights that I have for several reasons...

1. They don't light near as well as regular headlights do.
2. I've had problems with them, the entire time I've had the car (they came on it).

So I want some DARK headlights, that AREN'T projectors that would look good on my ride... Can anyone help me find some, I've looked on Ebay etc.. And couldn't find any....

I don't have the factory headlights. When I purchased the car, these projectors were on it, and they are NOTHING but trouble. I can't see **** with them. I have to keep my high-beams on all the time. I need some new ones...

ill sell you mine! i have a pair of OEM lights that i took off my car. the only thing is that i think the right one has a minor leak. once you open them up though you can clean it and close the leak. i dont know how much to give them to you for though.

anyone have prices in mind? i would say just a 100, ive never sold any parts but they're just taking up dust in my garage. hehehe

edit: oh and you pay shipping

just aim your projectors. they don't come aimed and you won't be able to see much until you aim then properly

Aiming them = useless because most of the time only 1 of the projectors actually works. Whoever put them on or whatever, did a horrible job of WIRING them, so the wiring is completely screwed up.

Where can I get some black/dark colored headlights, that aren't PROJECTORS. I also want some regular ones, so I can put some nice bulbs in it. I like the look of the blueish white headlight bulbs.

try getting some OEM headlights on ebay (around $40 a piece shipped) and then blacking out the headlights w/ engine enamal or bbq spray, that would probibly be your best/easyiest route... depending on how black you wanna go the look may varry slightly, but here is a pic of mine to give you an idea... It is an old pic, but you get the idea...
