What about these? LTZ projector headlight replicas...

dbcooper748 · November 13, 2015

So i need some opinions... I desperately want the oem LTZ Silverado projector headlights for my LT Allstar but dont have the budget to spend $1000+. I found this set on fleabay and the price is right. I have looked it several aftermarket options. 99% of all similar looking headlights use an h1 bulb for low beams. However i contacted this seller and am told that this particular set is supposed to be an oem replacement made to the same specifications has the factory LTZ headlights including using factory size bulbs. What do y'all think?

They look good to me.

May want to check there, they have some oem looking ones but I'm not sure how good they'd be, but they are a lot cheaper than the ones on fleabay.

I bought spyders from them and honestly not liking them. Thinking about those winjets. At any point, they have pretty good shipping and all that, everything came in really well packaged.

I'm looking at the aftermarket/replica headlights as well. I'm trying to go all black on my front end, but the black-bezel headlights on eBay are all flat black - not gloss black (painted). I desperately want to see a picture of those Winjet headlights installed on a truck. So far there are only pictures of the lamps themselves.

Thanks for suggesting those on that link. However they too, like all of the cheaper sets on ebay use H1 fog light bulbs, leading me to believe that the projector itself is small and inadequate. That's why i was looking into the ones i posted. They are supposed to use a h11 full size geadlight bulb, which to me, means its a full size projector. Also plan to do an fx-r retrofit eventually and its important that the housings themselves are big enough to accommodate those 3" projectors. As far as the winjets, they look cool, but i personally dont like aftermarket led strips or halos. Im just looking to go the oem look and performance.

Well i hope youre wrong... i just ordered them lol. But these arent supposed to be halo'd out aftermarket variations. I just spoke to Obrien19 who has had these for about a year, i believe, and he said the fit and finish is oem quality. These are made to replace broken ltzs in the event of a crash, etc. Guess ill see for myself soon.

I seriously hope you didn't pay that for replicas. My buddy bought his for $220 for the set off eBay and they fit great and looked identical to oem. The oem projectors aren't great anyways so you're not losing much there.

Will do! Im pretty stoked, as ive basically been doing an LTZ conversion on my LT. Changed out all mirror caps, door handles, window trim, to chrome. Added LTZ badges. And now with the headlights, it should be a dead ringer for a real LTZ other than the split 60/40 front seat, which is the reason i didnt buy an actual LTZ as i needed the extra seating

Yes i did pay that, but the ones your buddy bought are not these spec. I looked at those $200 ones very hard and contacted the sellers on those. While they look the same to these, Those cheaper ones use an h1 fog light and have smaller depth projectors. These I purchased have a larger depth projector and still use a full size h11 bulb. Which was very important, as i will be doing an fx-r retrofit soon and had to have the appropriate size housings to be able to fit 3" morimoto fx-rs.

If I ever get the cash to buy them I definitely will and post pictures. The chrome ones look good atleast I hope so. The pcitures of the chrome ones aren't the best.

A few months back I bought the h1 projectors because they looked great like a stock ltz... Unfortunately they are garbage. I think the candle in my living room is brighter than the h1 light.

These have been sitting in my garage since I purchased them and just recently decided to do more research in projectors. I opened them up and took some pics of the projector and what not... Id love to retro fit a fxr in there one of these days
