Re: New vettte style lights for My GTA.....

Are you referring to flush/non (C6 style) pop-up headlights?

If so...Your on your own. There is NOTHING commercially available.

Search around TGO & you'll find headlights that only pop-up halfway (sleepy eyes) or short rectangular lights the fit in the flat area between the bumper cover & headlight/hood line, on 87-90 'birds.

Look to the Fiero (or 4th gen) crowd to find flush headlight mods.

Re: New vettte style lights for My GTA.....

idk if theymake hem like a vette, ive never seen them. i think the closest thing you can get unless you fab your own is this. they come in the dark tint like that which from what i hear, they ruin your lighting, but they also come in clear to. check it on ebay. they sell for about 50 bucks. much cheaper than corvette headlights lol

Re: New vettte style lights for My GTA.....

I was actually about to just post about this. I've been looking online for flush style headlights for my T/A but have only found them for fourth gen. I would be interested in seeing those ones that popup only halfway if a website or something could be provided.

Re: New vettte style lights for My GTA.....

Just get a Camaro.....

Seriously, the cool thing about birds is that the headlights flip up. Yes, they may flip a little too far up for my taste, but that's something I haven't gotten around to messing with yet since I have new silverstars. IMO the little Wal-Mart fog lights cut into the bezel just look....cheezy.

.....Ok, ok, rant over.
