Re: low beam and high beam difference
They are sealed beams, so you can't just find a new lens.
And no....Not the same lens. Different lenses.

Re: low beam and high beam difference
i apologize, by lens i ment the whole head light unit, except the bulb. are they different housings? because the web site im looking at only has one type of head light labeled, "UNIVERSAL HEADLIGHT, SOLD INDIVIDUALLY -- 4 in. x 6-1/2 in. crystal clear glass lens; Bulbs not included; Without H4 bulb; DOT and SAE approved"

Re: low beam and high beam difference
I'd be real skeptical about using the same lens pattern, for both bulbs.
It's been years since I had a Camaro, so I can't pop my head out to look at my car (or I would) but I'd bet the flute pattern is different.
I tried a set of those H4 plug-in bulbs & housings in my GTA. 2 trips at night & they came out. Went & bought Sylvania Silverstar sealed beams & I'm perfectly happy with my light output. Not saying it can't be better, like with with projector headlights, but I like my MUCH cheaper Silverstars. And I live way out of the city, so DARK country roads & deer crossing them at random.

Re: low beam and high beam difference
Don't bother with any kind of fancy headlight setup, the best light for your money is the sealed beam silverstars.
I think all four lights came to around $50, but they were a gift so I could be wrong.
I've had mine for over 6 months and I expected them to collect condensation or fade by now, but they still shine a nice blue-ish light and are sealed up tight.

Silverstars...get 4 - 2 High and 2 low...The investment will be worth it. Takes 15 minuttes to replace all four.
