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...

The driving lights on the front on either side of the license plate... Ecklers and mad have blackouts that look kinda nice... I guess i was just curious

i have the blackouts from ecklers on the taillights and front turn signals and driving lights. but you might want to watch the rear lenses they are awfully dark.

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
