Default Fixed projectors headlights and halos!
i just finished putting together a projector and halo kit on my 1980 corvette and am looking to get feedback and possibly find people in the houston area who might want to check out my project

I think it would look better if the lights weren't reflecting off the lower panel. BTW, I'm betting the mods will shut this thread down pretty quickly.

Your post looks like a feeler for a commercial venture and the new owners of the forum tend to come down hard on anyone who advertises services or products without being a supporting vendor.

There are a number of moderators on the forum who scan posts for infractions and keep order if threads turn into flame wars, and they usually either close or delete threads like this one.

those look wild & crazy...I like them but would like them even better if they were not recessed and in the original flip up buckets. I recently did the halo modification as well to my headlights.

I like the projector part of it, but halos are just so ghetto around here, and have no business on a classic car.

Agreed I always see the halos as a "tuner" thing.

yes it is extremely safer you can see the sides of the roads much better because of the design of the projectors. i felt like i was driving a new car and a hid upgrade should make it even more effect especially compared to stock

I bet you can see into the future with those. However IMO, C3 vettes without headlight doors take away from the appearance of the car.

3 bolts install on both sides 6 bolts in the whole installation so a fast upgrade as well





halos easy to install as well no cutting or soldering
