Default Have Pedidle problem

Yup my passenger side headlight burned out so I guess its time for new headlights. What is the best way to go. I have heard about Hella Light buckets and heard they are good. but how are they as far as weight and motor strain. Another question is i am leaning towards HID's who makes a good kit and how hard is it to install

I'm sure others will chime in, but rocco16 is the Hella man. Little play on words there....

for HID's try www.eurolights.com, i bought seald beam conversions for my dd grand prix and it was a quality product i know they make HID's but not sure if they make them for a vette, you will have to e-mail them and ask if they have an aplication. be prepared to drop some cash on em im sure. good luck.

Impala's a good buddy of CF C4, Triumph. What he means, (I think) is "piddly". But, being from New England or Pittsburgh, they pronounce it slightly differently. Is this a great country, or what?

Default HIB's

Headlamp Conversion Kit, w/ High Intensity Blue Bulbs, $80 from MAM.

Put 'em in about 3 weeks ago. I'm likin' it. Simple install, comes with lens protectors and dust shields. I don't think weight is an issue. Doesn't seem all that bright at first 'cuz of the blue, but it is. Easy change out on the bulbs, too.
