Default 79 Headlight question

Are these stock headlights or is this an after-market option?

Yeah...what Jim said. They are Monza style headlights still sold by some of the aftermarket part suppliers like Ecklers. Because of the condensation constantly collecting under the lens and prone to scratches, many leave the lens off. I like some advantages to the unit, but wouldn't trade a good working stock assembly for one. The weight savings over stock is desirable for racing, so put your lid on and have at it.
