What are some headlight suggestions you guys have? there is a guy that i know who tints headlight covers interior to the housing, or should i go clear, or should i go headlight covers. Black on white usually looks good and am not sure how good the clear lights would look... Please advise

yep, just cleam them. No headlight covers and the tint on the inside of the headlight will prolly have bubles because of the shape.

don't do it.
IMO white with black doesn't look good.

Hey i have a white Alero as well and I just got mine cleared with the inside painted black. Looks great and makes a world of difference. I've had many compliments in the first week so far.

there should be some way to "frost" tails and headlights... like dark tinted tails look good on black cars... i think someone should try to "whiten" thier tails and headlights on a white one... that'd be sweet

You can buy a white frosted paint at home depot or many other stores in a spray can...it is also supposed to be non permanent as you can apparently re-dissolve it with solvent.
