Default fixed headlights?

Does someone still make kits to fix the headlights and remove the doors? I always liked that look.

And if you like a lower profile bulb, see my site, there is a pix of the Eckler's sugar scoops that maybe you can find a used set from a vette junkyard....and mod to fit the bulbs you like....

It's a good look but they suffer from "tunnel vision"...the edge of the light is cut off so you don't get a wide lighting pattern. Also, if you want them the covers have to be custom made since the only ones I was able to find (Eckler's) are stupid expensive.

I just pulled mine out in favor of restoring the pop-ups (sorry, already sold).

Best of luck
