Depo housings are what most people end up getting.

Or if you're feeling handy, bake them open, do a proper retrofit and paint the housings yourself. Follow that with a wet sand on the lenses followed by some clear.

A heat gun would probably be easier than baking them.

I've used both methods and the oven method is actually better than the heat gun. Unfortunately, the OP wasn't asking about a retrofit. I think he just wants to drop the cash to get fresh blackhoused headlights instead of dumping in a ton of work. I can understand that. It's always nice to start with minty parts.

Im just looking for new housings now because i have already wetsanded and polished my lenses and they still arnt as good as i wish. I always wanted to do a retro fit, and probably will end up doing them with the new housings. Any suggestions on where to buy the housings?

Ebay or Amazon. You can find them for around $120-150 a set.
