Default Headlights options....

Guys,

What would be the best headlights you would recommend for a 1980 C3? Any of those halogen xenon gas filled bulbs available out there?

check Sylvania's website; they make 90% of the headlights that go into cars nowadays. Last time I was there, they had a lightbulb selector that would tell you what bulbs fit in your make/model/year of car, and what types of bulbs those were.

I installed halogen bulbs in my ’74 several years ago. I bought them off the shelf at Walmart.

Go to H4. Then your options are anything from 35watt to full HID. Just the normal H4 bulbs are a HUGE improvement over halogen sealed beams.
