I have been looking for a set of clear replacement headlights for my z28 for some time now. I kept looking at all the different types but did not wanna buy a cheap set for $10 and be disappointed! So finally came across this set on ebay. It included 1. 4 LENSES, 4 SUPER WHITE H4 BULBS, 4 SEAL RUBBER, 4 SPECIAL WIRE CORRECTION ADAPTERS. So for the $85 dollars I decided to go for it. I recieved in the mail in just a few days. I opened it up and was impressed w/ what I saw. Glass housings and metal backings. The biggest thing i liked about this kit is there was no holes for "city lights".Over all I give this kit

I saw this on ebay for a long time.. i saw the whole no refund thing and got scared away for spending that much and risking not being satisified.. i'm also curious to see the pics.. i have silverstars on there right now and am pretty happy with them... but i wish they looked a little cleaner like these.. i'm a fan of the euro housing and the silverstars look like stock headlights only brighter.
Next nice day I will make it out to the garage and start the install! I will post up pics! Glass lenses metal backs so there is no confusion!

I installed them on my car last year and also bought a true xenon system. this combo leads to a powerfull and bright light without bothering those who face me.
i agree with berry they'll get more bussiness forsure.. i'm going to put in an order soon
and dang Jeremy those are soo sick.. you just bought the bulb and that was it? no extra mods? seriously that is such a clean look..
Yes, I mean No!
I bought a real xenon kit. pict attached.
Don't buy those crappy bulb claimming they are xenon. Yes they are but they have nothing to do with what I bought.
I don't remember exactly but it was around 200$ at the time. Now you 'll find much cheaper kits on ebay. I choose a 8000K kit, just for info. bright white, a bit blue but not too much.
Glad to see to get such a good response from this.

This is a good thread as I started out looking for new front turn signal lights and these front head lights caught my attentions also! Anyone does anyone know how the H4's bulbs would compare with the Silverstars in brighness? I already have the Sliverstars and I am pretty happy with them, but I'm thinking about getting these same housings.
Not sure but I am going to run these bulbs for a while and see what I think. If I am not happy I am going to get a set of silverstars or something comparable!

i have diamond cut lights with 1000K hid's the hid's are awesome probly one of the favorite things i have done to the car. also just to add i have seen pictures the lights dont look right with out the diamond parking lenses... i swapped both at the same time definitely an awesome mod... the bulbs those lights come with SUCK THOUGH
I already have a set of homemade clear parking lenses. But they are smooth inside and I don't think they will look right, so I have a set of diamond cut parking lights on the way!

What's with the wire correction adapters? Do you really need them? Because most of the other conversion kits do not include these. Basically will I need to make an adapter if I choose to buy a kit without one?
I am not sure about them being out of stock. I am sure they will have a few more kits come up. As far as the shipping it was just about 2-3 days shipping time!

Yes you really need the adapters. The connection on the bulbs are different. It only makes sense to go with a set that comes with it. Look at is this way... We have all tested it and it works the last thing you want is to create some sort of electrical problem in your car and loose your headlights while driving.
Took me about an hour or so! As for the fogs I bought them about 7 years ago from trucktoyz.com

Thats kool I was trying to get you to just say WTF and pull the trigger
Did anyone take a close look at the adapter wires that come with this kit? I need to make some for my car. Is the actual connector the same as what our cars already have? It would be great if I could just swap a couple wires in the existing connector and call it good.

i didnt use the adapters... worked fine, maybe they would be brighter with the adapters... idk. but i dont know who i bought mine from but i just noticed one of my lenses is cracked... looks like i gotta get a new pair.
