Headlights
I know this is not drag related but I need help here.
we have a '00 Shouette. the headlights on it are very bad. I have changed to PIAA too.
however when we drive our Avalanche ('03) it is very easy to tell the poor lighting on the '00
Somewhere along the line GM has changed lights cause newer cars have great lights.
Can I upgrade to new lights?

Sure upgrades are easy.
Just buy a new car, it should have better headlights!

Edgar, call & talk to Dino, he has HID up-grades for most any car/trk.
Awesome results!

Look,
Just roll out the Vette.
Do a little street racing and suck the head lights out of all the little imports running around down there.
Then you will have plenty of fancy headlights to choose from!
Don't even mention that you need some new doors!
Good luck.
Buy American!

Edgar,
Bring the '00 Olds up to our shop. For $100.00 we will make the headlights look like brand new. This is also a common occurence with Dodge Caravans and Neons. We use a kit that treats the plastic and makes it look like it's brand new. Better than spending $300.00 each on headlamp assemblies for a Caravan from Mopar. Let me know.

Yes the plastic can get a bit
smokey or foggy, though that may or may not be the issue here.

Don't go there. (Why must you be so difficult
)
Just stick with sucking out the headlights!
