are our headlights sealed with gas ?? or....
im asking because i want to drill them and put strobes in them....now ...are they sealed and wont work if theres a hole in the,.....or will they work if they are drilled?
Lights are sealed. Either with a vacuum or a gas. Headlights have a halogen gas in them. The sealed light allows the filiment to burn hotter without blowing out. So drilling into them will release the gas and they will blow out quickly. It will say sealed beam. 3rd gen f-bodies have them.

I know one of the lights I bought for my car
kinda the same as yours
had the outer shell with glass and all then inside there was another light bulb
and even put a whole in the glass shell one time by rock but it still worked
kinda just need to check it out but I make no promise

i dunno....my RX7's lights had the same thing happen and they worked.....but yeah....only one way to find out, do it.....i might take a old headlight and break the lense, see if it works after that, before i go through all the work and drill these...

Somebody had busted my lense and my bulb still worked. So maybe to answer your question. Theres a bulb inside the lense its just a closed lense.

I believe Hella makes a kit to turn our H6054 setups into those little "replace just the bulb" setups, like on newer cars with fixed plastic lenses. You might want to look into that. Then you could use those highly annoying super-hyper-ultra-blue-white damn bulbs that every moron and their girlfriend is putting into their cars (please don't).

well its with our cars sitting so low to the ground I dont think it matters much. Theres always gonna be the ******* driving down the road with his lights in my eyes. (Everyone that passes by) *** I hate other drivers....But ya Im sure you can either fab something up, or rather just get the kit.

There is a way to make our lights fixed with replaceable bulbs. Buddy did it to his 87 S10 which I believe has the same lights. Im not sure where he got it ill have to ask.
