Headlights
I just got a mint 1998 vette and so far almost as much in love with my first one which was a 1996 couple back in the 70es.
HELP HELP I really find the headlights to be horrible and am looking for guidance on what to replace it with.
SAnybody out there who has found the right replacement
Thanks

9011/9012 for a cheap upgrade. Radioflyer for anything more expensive (and significantly better). I would not go with a JWM kit (plain ACAs) or the frog eyes (Depo fixed headlights), just go straight to Radioflyer.

Found two models in RadioFlyer
https://radioflyerinnovations.com/sh...dlights-for-c5
https://radioflyerinnovations.com/sh...aca-headlights
Big difference in two above because of the price difference?

The low rise Luminators will have equal/slightly worse low beam output than the ACAs, and significantly worse high beam output. What you are paying extra for on the Luminators is the R&D and custom parts needed to make it low rise.

I have the ACA’s. I jumped on George’s 10% off sale and couldn’t be happier. Tho I like the look of the low rise, it’s not enough to spend the extra money. The ACA’s with the bi-xenon main bulb are amazing. I essentially have 4 high beams now when I turn them on. They light up the road ahead of people who are ahead of me!

+1 on radioflyer ACAs.
Bonus: He recently indicated the possibility of a sale in the near future,,,cyber Monday, I think.
Diverging from your question, but for consideration or future planning:
His LED fogs are also a great improvement.
Not excessively expensive, and are plug and play.
and
the exterior and interior LED kit (IMHO) is a another great improvement over stock.
Non sale price on all 3 totals a bit over 1000, but with those 3 upgrades, I prefer the C5 over the C7 if I know I’ll be driving at night,
