82 fixed headlight conversion
I'm trying to find some fixed headlights for my c3 but I don't know what the are called and everything else I pull up is for switching from vacuum to electric. Any help is appreciated

Just about all of the vendors have them. F1 or FIA style. The fixed lights were used on the C3's that were raced at LeMans and Sebring. Some of the sanctioning bodies allowed them and some didn't. Chevrolet even sold all of the parts to convert to them.

This should do it.

I should have been more specific. Round ones which are completely recessed into the front slope of the fiberglass. There is a thread here where someone built one using some small projectors.

See my car below, the Ecklers sugar scoops from many years ago were yet again busted up, and so I closed in the glass opening about 50% front to rear....made my own mounts/frames from junkyard raids on late 80? F body cars....lo profile rectangle bulbs.....I noted the raid I pulled had the lo beams both burnt out....also noted the bulb itself was GLUED into the main glass structure.....so just twisted out the old bulbs, and glued in more modern bulbs, Halogen?? at any rate, they plugged up all just fine.....
and the FUGLY old flipped out holes look much more sleek now....
surely over the last 15? years someone has changed the type of bulb, and yes, maybe better.....but not at MY price!!!!
