The following is a list of headers that our customers have told us have or have not worked for them. Our systems are not limited to these headers by any means, but you can use them as a routing style reference for your own headers. It is the routing style that is important, not the name brand. You can look these up to see if yours have similar routing styles.

They are Halo housings. I couldn't actually find them for my Vette so I searched for headlights for an old Charger. They shared the same headlight size so a set of four for a Charger would also work for a Vette.
I just searched but didn't find any.
The Halos are a ring, with a separate bulb, that I wired to a single switch in the dash. I also took the vacuum control away from my headlight switch and run them up and down with the override switch so I can turn on just the Halos for shows or cruising in the failing light.
Once it gets too dark, I turn off the Halos and turn on the headlights.
I did have to trim out the holes in the backs of the buckets to get the larger housings to fit, and I created the wiring for the Halos but overall it was not a hard project.
