Default Vette Lights Installed

Finished up replacing all exterior lights with Vette Lights today. It was actually pretty easy.

The Vette Lights headlights look better than the stock headlights imo. Nice improvement.

Well, they do look nice, but are expensive, I know you get what you pay for, has anyone tried the $5.00 high output low beams from rockauto.com? Just sayin…

But they do look great👍

The big different is going from traditional bulbs to LED.

The problem is the stock buckets and reflectors suck, putting high output bulbs in stock headlights is like lipstick on a pig, looks a little better, but still a pig. Next to my blower, this is the best mod I did to my car and if you drive at night, it is literally "night and day" different/better. You can't get close to the improvement with just bulbs in the stock buckets.
