Default Where can I get some good 96-98 CTR REPLICA headlights? My original sources are gone.

First off, NO, I won't be buying real CTR headlights. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I blew ~$400 on a set of headlights, when I could buy Koni Yellows for that price.

And secondly, NO, I won't be doing DIY CTR headlights, because every single set I've seen ends up looking like cheap eGay ripoff headlights that have condensation issues from improper sealing.

So....now that that's out of the way...

I originally planned on getting some CTR replica headlights from http://www.tornactive.com , OR http://www.soulracing.com . However, soulracing is down and Tornactive doesn't have what I'm looking for anymore.

Any reputable sellers of 96-98 CTR replica headlights anymore?

Oh, and eGay's out of the question too

Good luck finding some that look close. Most of the places I have found headlights only have the real thing. I am going to tell you what people told me: Just save your money and buy the real thing. I know $500 is alot on headlights but its worht it. Replica headlights usually dont fit right and sometimes water gets in them.

to aftermarket headlights OEM all the way!!!

SoulRacing had the best looking CTR style headlights.. looked almost identicle to the real ones. i think they color was *slightly* off though.

do they not make them anymore or what?

If he was trying to help, he would have read the entire post, and realized that I didn't want recommendations to buy OEM CTR headlights.

But it's all good, he MEANT well.
