82-92 CHEVY CAMARO CRYSTAL Headlights w/Adapter (Ebay seller 2004momo)
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.

I think they may have just got some more business. They look great. And how was the install?

I bought that exact same set on ebay as far back as either '01 or '02 - they are great quality.
Here's when installed back then:
And here is now - still nice and clear (well, except the pic itself ) :

Installing is plug and play. The only pain in the butt part is getting the headlight frame back around it without breaking the frame.

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 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.
One good thing: they draw less current!

Re: 82-92 CHEVY CAMARO CRYSTAL Headlights w/Adapter (Ebay seller 2004momo)
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!

The upgrade kit, is it xenon or an actual HID kit (with ballasts etc) ?

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.

Re: 82-92 CHEVY CAMARO CRYSTAL Headlights w/Adapter (Ebay seller 2004momo)
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.
Thanks.
Thanks.
