I can't see when the bright lights come at me when I'm in the vette, they're aimed right at my face. Most people around here seem ignorant to the fact what a high or low beam is. I flash my lights and they have now idea, so I flip my highs on and keep going, they don' t even flash their lights back. Seems the newer drivers aren't taught the common sense things we were back in the day. Then there is the guys that put in the high intensity lights and dont adjust them, had one guy that had his lights pointing weird, one directly down and the other right in my face, i flipped on my highs and he flipped his on high. One kept pointing at the ground and the other left my face and went over my head. what a clown. lots of examples like that.

As for working, I hate flourescent lighting, it messes with my eyes. They aren't bright enough for my old eyes. I have some inexpensive LED hanging work lights similar to flourescent tube lights. I love them, they light up my work tables and my engine bay like daylight. Its easy to find all the springs and bolts I drop

Hey Metalhead140,

I've been looking at these lights for a while but can't find any reference to anyone actually trying to install them into a C3 headlight bucket. Please let me how it goes. I would buy these in a heartbeat if they work for our application.

Thanks

They're what I've ordered, I'm hoping they won't be too difficult a fit, but I won't have them on hand for a good few weeks yet... I'll let you know if you like?

Yep- It'll take some work...

Metalhead- DO take pics...I'm thinking you might can space the lights forward about ½" to get a little more clearance...

These lights -not NEAR as big- are a tight fit-



Not a lot of room...


here's what was removed-
