headlights

guys in the process of completing my car and I want to put on a set of factory looking headlights, i was going to go with the clear ones but I want the factory look to match the fog lights etc.

anyone aware of a set of factory style headlight that offers a replaceable bulb instead of a sealed beam... or if you have any other recommendations.... havent been around here much lately, did a search and the most recent post i found was from 2001 lol

Re: headlights

You can open those with a razor blade and a couple of screw drivers the toss in the bulb you want in and seal it back up with a little caulking

Re: headlights

For headlight housings with a factory appearance and the light source of your choosing(aftermarket Halogen/Xenon Plasma style bulbs, HID kit or LED kit), offering the versatility of being able to swap to or from any of those light sources in the future, these Autopal 4x6 E-Code housings will probably be your best option.

http://www.tlg-auto.com/autopal-4x6-...ce-headlights/

Search the website in the above link for more 4x6 options. Also search ebay. From simple to complex, entry-level to high-end, you'll find a lot of 4x6 options available.

Re: headlights

I know you already got a set, however one thing I noticed that some one else had swapped in were a pair of chevy celebrity headlights, I do not believe they are sealed beam so that someone could put in HID's
