Default ideas

If I could could find a headlight housing that had a clear front lense and faceted refractors in the rear of the housings to properly direct and disperse the light beams, this headlight problem would be solved.

Any ideas or suggestions along thoselines?


order the euro spec lights from your local gm dealership and then call daniel stern lighting for an upgraded harness kit and new bulbs
total cost is about 300 doing it this way or you could order the pfyc corvette stores speedbuilt headlight kit for 345
they are about the same thing as the above mentioned setup

I just got a set of Sylvanias but don't have them in yet. My understanding is the slightest touch of the bulb from human hands will make them fry (due to the oil getting on the bulb). So I'm getting my Trunk Monkey to put mine in.
Save the money it a easy install go to any parts store and purchase a pair of plastic / rubber gloves that you see mechanics wear. Gloves are inexpensive and the install is a snap.
