Default Headlight Blackouts

anyone have em on their vette, with pictures i could see? I plan on getting it painted soon, and want to add a few small extras... I was thinking of getting these or maybe a front cover (w/o the hood cover) ... or maybe both? wonder what that looks like...

Did the same thing. Where did you get brighter bulbs? I probably went a couple coats too many.



Here's a shot of the front black outs.

Honestly a buddy brought them over one day....Im sure he just went to the Zone or napa .....Maybe someone else has some part numbers. I know I ve read about others doing this on the forum. Its been over a year though and I dont recall the numbers. Check the wattages next time at the parts store and you should be able to find 'em
