European headlight assemblies?
US Spec headlight assemblies are crap....European Corvette assemblies are so much better. I know PFYC has the assemblies, however, you're looking at spending over $400.00 for it. Forget that crap. Maybe someone knows the GMPartsDirect number for the headlamp assemblies?

Gene at GMPartsHouse would know

But for a couple of hundred more you can get ACAs with Phillips HIDs in custom projectors

I've got a complete Euro High Wattage Headlight setup, that include Two (2) GM European T84 Headlamp lenses, Two (2) PIAA brand 90/135W H4 halogen bulbs (H4 is high and low in a single bulb), One (1) Heavy Duty plug and play wiring harness (includes relays), and instructions PFYC sells this setup for $424.99 plus shipping. I'm getting ready to put in in the for sale parts section. I'll take $250 plus shipping. I bought this off a forum member about a year ago and never installed, and have since bought a HID setup. If you're interested send me a PM.

I think the part numbers are
16525316 R/H HEADLAMP T84.
16525317 L/H HEADLAMP T84
Its definitely worth investing in the plug and play harness which makes fitting easy. You'd need the relays and heavy duty wiring to take the 135/90s in any case. The standard H4 is only 55/60

Thanks for the offer, Larry...but I don't need the high wattage kit. Actually, I just wanted the lenses so that the HID Conversion kit will look cleaner and crisper, thanks to the "non-fogged-looking" european glass. Thanks for the part numbers, I sent an email to Gene to make sure.
If you go HID you will need a dedicated battery based relay harness.
If you use the OEM harness expect all sorts of issues.
