Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
i vote no, just doesn't look right, but to each his own. I like the idea of having all 4 headlights on at the same time(no high beams) thats looks sick at night.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
Is there any issue with getting the lights to shine in the right spot with this conversion?

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
I would say no, it just does not look right. I installed H.I.D's on mine and wanted to stay with the factory look so I bought the 4x6 H4 conversions with the "boundaries" on the lens. They look good. you might want to check those out if you dont want to go with the euro clear lens.

IMO clears do not look so bad but of-course you will also need the euro bumpers

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
To be honest with you I like the euro clear look. I actually bought those first ( euro head lamp conversions and euro bumper lamps ) I never installed them, I still have them. I just decided to go with the O.E look.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
I dont want it to seem like I am "Hijacking" but Here are the pictures maybe they can help captain_camaro decide.
Here is the setup that went on the car (the head lamps here are still the sealed beams the conversions are shown in the picture at the bottom):

Here is the Euro Clear setup:

Here is a side by side comparison of the Head Lamp Conversions:

First time I saw 1-piece headlights was on Fatal's car back in the mid-90's. Looked good then, still looks good now.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
Id stick with a more "classic" look with updated lighting.So if you wanna go HID.Then do a projector conversion, of course Im biased.

I agree if there are issues with functionality stay stock. Plus I like the look of the double lights.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
Well, they are 4X6 H4 Traditional Head Lamp Conversions. What is nice about them is the housing is steel and the lens is glass. They have the boundaries on the lens to retain the O.E look. They use a H4 bulb. They are made by Pilot Automotive, sold in pairs and the part# is WI-HL2.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
It might list it as 4 X 6 1/2 or 6 1/2 x 4 but is the correct one. They only make 3 sizes for rectangulars "4x6" "6X7" and the ones on the 4th gens ( I dont know that measurement ). Part #WI-HL2 is the one needed on the 3rd gen.

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I understand that a a lot of ppl disagree which is why apc taillights and the "performance" aisle @ autozone exists. Someone has to make money off people with no taste.

I'm pretty sure that pic is just showing the conversion lamps (top) and comparing them to stock style sealed beams (bottom).

Re: straight headlights(need ur vote)
Yep.
Military developed WD-40 or Water Displacement # 40 in their tests to find a solution to keeping the rust off the missles in the silo's.
It is 100% boidegradable
You can consume it...why? Its 100% fish oil.
Makes for great powerbait sprayed on your fishing lures.
Its a great tar solvent for removing tar stains
and it does a pretty damn good job in a pinch for a**l sex (Did I think that out loud?) Do not try this at home...It is a joke!
...Besides, Headlights are for pu**ies
....so are window wipers
