Headlights

Am I the only one who wishes our headlights had more of a modern or sleek look to them? Something more along the lines of the Ion Redline headlights.

I dont like stockers or even the Gen headlights, but man I do love me some retro's. I think those are sexy as hell.

Yes... I also wish they were surrounded by the bumper/fender all the way around, so it always fit snug and doesn't look like a 4 year old bolted them randomly

Yep, they are. Retros give the car a whole new look.

For real, it gets old trying to get our headlights to line up.

I never had a fitment issue with stock headlights. It wasn't until I got Gen 3s that I started having problems. I really want retros soon!

I had problems with Gen 4s and my stockers. I've had better luck with my retros.

once you get the fitment right, they look great.

someone on here built some retros using Saturn Astra headlight internals, looked pretty bad ass.

I loved my retros. Just maybe even a black housing would have looked better than all that fake chrome. idk personal preference I guess. I do like the shape of the ion redline housings though

Yeah, black makes them look 100 times better. They blend in more.

Mine looked so out of place on my car I think since it's black.

I love my retros, our cars look so mean with them.
