Hay Joe, I didn’t say for ever. I was fixing those popups on my 90 Firebird back in the 90s making my own parts before they had repair kits.

I guess for me, I view it as a straight forward repair doing it from time to time. It’s not like drivetrain problems that can be real serious. I just view it as a minor temporary inconvenience.

Default Breathless Fixed Headlights

I met with Ernie of Breathless today at the PRI Show and he is working up a price for our group purchase. We will need 10 sets to make this work and Ernie will be in touch with me next week to see how we are doing. Please post in this thread if you are seriously interested and PM me.

Thanks,

NitrousSam / Sam Miller

the coupe fiat lights look better on the pic than in person and they are notorious for developing stains on the glass, i have a coupe fiat and I'm on my 2nd set and they are starting to get milky also...and the lights are far from cheap (fiat parts are notoriously expensive here, imagine what they cost over there with the euro vs. dollar conversion)

I need to get a firm number of how many people will be buying the Breathless C4 Fixed Headlights . Please post here and if you need more information please PM me. We are not posting prices here but I can PM everyone the details. In fairness to Ernie all I ask is that you do not post the price I send you on this forum.

Thanks and it's critical that we confirm at least 10 sets or more to make this happen. Ernie/Breathless is a forum supporter and I met with him personally at PRI and he loves Corvette Forum.

Thanks,

NitrousSam

I might add that in many states, there is a minumum light height requirement, that this configuration will not meet.

By the way.
Does any one know how much weight difference there is between these and stock?

If it was posted earlier in this thread I didn't see it.

Thanks.
