New Headlights

just finished up installing a set of JWM ACA projector headlights. The improvement is astounding and makes night driving much more enjoyable. The ACA housing looks a whole lot better than the stock housings too. Thought I would post a few pictures. 55w ballasts and 5000K bulbs.

Damn! Those look good! I also like your rears. I'm still sitting on the fence with this whole lighting thing. Did you run into any issues with hyperflashing and/or weird behavior from your interior lights after the install?

Thank You. No I did not have any issues at all with the tail lights. My understanding is they have a fix for the hyperflash issues built in to the lights so you dont need to worry about. I was on the fence too about the headlights but there is no comparison and you can see so much better at night. If you drive your vette at night at all you will be happy with the upgrade and will wish you had done it sooner.

How long did it take you to install the headlights?

I put the ACA projectors and HID's in my 2002. So much better looking and great improvement over stock lighting. All those thinking about getting them, definitely should. Awesome mod and upgrade.

Those are nice! I've been debating getting rid of the flip up function altogether. But there are none that are affordable that actually look decent. These are defiantly nice if keeping flip ups.

I'm thinking of doing something to my headlights but not sure which way to go. They've been modified with the brass gears already but I just am not too crazy about the pop-ups. The fixed projectors are so expensive that I can't afford or justify that right now though, but I like what you did on yours.
