Headlight upgrades
Hello Everyone, I own a 79 L82.....and my headlights are the standard lights. My question to my fellow vette owners...Any suggestions on better quality headlights. I am a fairly new owner, so i am not familiar with distributors. I would like to find a better brighter headlights for my car...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Osram/Sylvania part number is H5006 for the low beams, they're rated at 35watts. I assume that Eckler's headlights are 45Watts or more... the stock high beams are 50watts.

On my 68 I replaced the stock hi-beam bulbs with halogen bulbs and now they are very bright. If someone is in front of me and i hit the high beams, their interior lights up bright enough so they can read a newspaper.
