There was a thread in this board about this topic a while ago and I got told that these products suck and they are cheap but the person who told me this never ordered them from this place. I'm planning to order from this company in the next month or so and convert my headlights as well. For $50, you can't go wrong. I think the guy said something about these products being cheap and crappy b/c they were made in India, and the problem is?????? I don't know I'm going to buy them but check em out.

The problem is the tolerances at which the lamps are manufactured. They are by no means exacting as Hella's, Cibie's or Marchal's lamp assemblies. Also, keep in mind they do NOT meet Federal guidelines. So if you have a yearly state inspection, these lamps will not pass. You get what you pay for. Don't settle for cheap imitations when it comes to your safety.

true,thats what I tell everyone don't be cheap when it comes to saftey.....they never listen.

 

I'm not sure if this helps, but I went to the auto parts store and they had replacement headlight for my car in the blue color. They don't look exactly like the newer cars with the bulbs and lens, though. HOwever, they are actually blue in color and a hell of a lot brighter than the stock headlights. I only bought the low beams to chek them out and now my lows shine brighter than the brights. I think Sylvania makes them and they are called "cool blue." They are only 15 bucks a piece.

i may go with the blue sealed lights for my black coupe, but the reason i was asking about a lens from another vehical was my 91 rs convertible i bought from the auction don't have the original lights on them. it looks as though someone tried to do the conversion kit already and used two different lenses for this. the one side does look nice, however they don't match. it is one solid lens on each side, and the high beams aren't even hooked up, or when ever the guy was getting in repode, he took the lights off them, and the people just through these lights in for now? i'm not sure. the housing unit is still there for the factory lights, but all the screws are missing. what do you think i should do? i do appriciate all the help i've gotten so far too. thank you.

 

I agree with Sarge there are "Cool Blue" lights out there. They are made by Sylvania I think. I saw them at Advance Auto. Good luck in your search.

 

yeah, i work at advance auto, and we sell those "Sylvania COOL BLUE lamps" right now you can get a pair for $23.00 , im gonna get them for my car pretty soon.

I got my cool blues at Pep Boys for 12.99, and I have seen them at Walmart. So I imagine you could get them cheaper at Walmart for what I paid at Pepboys. I did not notice the blue color but it was more white which looks more normal than that odd blue you see out there.

 

Willie, i just want to say quality job on that supercharged IROC. it really looks sweet and those are very imperssive #s to push out of n e motor, especially a 305. How did u mod the tranny/rear end/exahaust?

re: above post

Wow, can you believe those ricers pay that much for that stuff?

Supposedly, around '90-up Chevy pickup composite light housings can fit into thirgen Camaros with little modification.

I've seen it done on this board somewhere a while back.

Those projector housings for the Chevy pickup might look cool in a Camaro. Hmm. Might have to try a cut-n-paste to see.

 

Before you buy the bulbs, check this site out. I have been posting it everytime I see a post on this subject.
