Instead I found a really nice deal on Ebay.... eBay Motors: 1997-2003 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Head Lamps RH LH 98 99 00 (item 260260025040 end time Jul-13-08 23:32:59 PDT)

$122 shipped to my door for the pair. The quailty is fantastic, I couldn't be any happier with them. I'm glad I found these. The seller is a cool guy, I had them in 2 days, i was surprised.
Hmmm... He is about 40 miles from my house. If you got them in two days, they should be quick for me. That's a good deal too. I'm in for a pair. Too bad he wasn't a little bit closer, maybe he would have done local pickup.

I was wandering, what is up with the three nipples on the 97-03 ones? Can I sand them off? That would make it easier to buff. But since I will be getting new ones, I guess it would not matter.

Has anyone installed the new projectors lights?

nipples are part of the mold or casting process. I would imagine that it would be where the plastic is injcted into a mold at. And yes a cupple people have installed them.

Bought my headlights with bulbs from Carolinas supply out of Charlotte for $51.45 ea, good quality units. I have their lights in my Silverado now that are 5 years old and still clear, the originals didn't last that long.

I too need new headlights. I just bought the car a few months ago and it looks great for a car its age but the headlights make it look terrible. I found 2 places on ebay for $104 and $109. One pair looks darker than the other though. Do you guys think it's just the angle of the pictures or is one darker than the other? They make smoked ones but they're like $50 more... anyway, here's the ones im going with:

eBay Motors: 97 98 99 Pontiac Grand Prix Headlight Headlamp PAIR SET (item 160275782903 end time Aug-31-08 07:07:33 PDT)

eBay Motors: 97-03 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 0EM HEADLIGHTS + CORNER 4PCS (item 130250192668 end time Aug-31-08 20:19:04 PDT)

I just bought a brand new set for $120, that must be a steal.

I think the first ones are Chrome and the second one's aren't, if you read the description on the first one it specifically says that where as to the second doesn't.
