I bought a 89 camaro a month ago. from now till the spring (when I'll take it out of "storage") I want to give it a "face lift". The car is in great condition apart from the head lights being old and crappy looking, the bumper lights oxidized and a front bumper that will need to be repainted probably. I'm looking into fixing my bumper lights. The front bumper should get repainted when theres enough dry, salt free pavement going from my house to the body shop, and then theres the head lights.

What kind of head lights do you use and what do you suggest?

 

this set is from prostreet lighting...they were 80 shipped

 

hey black 84z28 could you maybe post a link to were exactly you bought them. Also could you possible post pics of what they look like when they're on.

 

Are those HIDs? Id either opt for those, or Sylvania Silverstars if you want a sealed beam.

 

they are not hids...just an h4 conversion....these are the cheapy bluish bulbs that will be replaced bt silverstars



just google prostreetlighting

 

those look almost identical to mine, except I got mine from summit racing. I can't get my lights to take a good picture they are way to bright. And I have different bulbs than black84. I had some similiar to those except they were 90/100 bulbs and entirely to bright and drew way to much power so i dropped to 55/60 bulbs. Mainly because I have them wired as 4 low 4 high instead of 2 low 4 high.

Here's the only picture that came out all the rest were whitewashed pretty much

and here's what mine look like

 

i have the wiring harness for the brighter bulbs, just not installed yet

 

i made my own out of i believe 10gauge wire. Just pulls to many amps for a 105 amp alternator to handle. I bought a harness to upgrade the lights and decided I didn't like it and made my own.

 

its not the wiring that is the problem...you need relays in it to kick down the power going to the other older wires in the harness...it was worth the 50 bucks but i've just been too lazy to work on the car

 

I went with Silverstar foglights and headlights. They look great, a nice upgrade from stock. Sorry no pics though.

 

i just went back all stock with my stuff. got replacement high beams and lowbeams from walmart foglights from walmart which look stock, and the parking lenses from gm. i think i have around $100 all the lights on the front of the car. oh and i made my clear sidemarkers.

 

you can't go wrong with Sylvania SilverStars that's what i got on mine, they give a real flashy look for a cheaper price

 

the front new front lens's look great. how hard are they to remove/replace?

mine are still decent without too much marking but they are starting to get a bit of a haze to them.. nothing a quick polish couldn't get out.

 

how do you people MAKE your own clear side markers?

Is this H4 conversion kit any good? and black84z28 i did google it but i only found the 98-02 lights.

 

stock, rarely use the high beams...guess they're extra special or something

 

i dont think anyone on here has made they're own besides me

 

Xenarcs.....

 

Add me to that list.

Quick question to those with Firebirds: Do you find that your sealed beam headlights gather moisture on the inside of the bulb more often than not? I wonder if having them be stored facing down is an issue?

 

i have that problem with i believe the passenger side. maybe it is the position. dont know what else it could be.

 

give them a call and ask them about h4 conversions for the type of bulbs we use...at 50 a set that is expensive since i paid 80 shipped to my door for all 4


you wanna find leanses that use glass...before you buy make sure...when you get them and have questions dont be afraid to ask

 

how about THESE ?

 

These are the Eurolites that I have on my car.

Silverstars

 

Here are Sylvania Silterstars (the direct replacement enclosure+bulb)



Here are H4's, glass enclosures with PIAA bulbs (but soon to be changed)

 

SilverStars.

I am running the silverstars and when cleaning my car last weekend I noticed that they have moisture in them. The stock type did that too. I was hoping that these were better. If anyone has any tips on how to prevent this please post up.

I got Sylvania Silverstars...but im starting to look at the H4 conversions...

 

pricy but will work

 

Here are mine. These are also the clear ones. I bought them about 4 years ago on ebay. This pic is from when they were brand new:

mine are the eurolites also, got them for a really good deal.

 

I just bought the silverstars today, I'll probably get them on the car by tomorrow. Kind of procey for 4 lights. but i guess the camaro deserves it

 

A lot of those h4651 style are listed under "universal" because they fit so many different cars and trucks.

hey crazy where did you get your glass h4s from

 

I know a lot of people here are real fans of Sylvania Silverstars, but my experience with them was less than satisfactory. I found them to be only marginally brighter than stock, and all 4 burned out within 6-8 months. Now, I admit I use my lights a lot because I drive in a lot of heavy traffic (helps people notice you in a world of SUV's), but the stockers I replaced them with have lasted nearly two years--even with rock holes in them. As expensive as silverstars are, they should last better than that. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I wasn't willing to shell out the coin again to verify that.

 

Would it be possible to get a more corvette-like appearance on firebird popups?

 

These ones I have came with the car, not sure on the brand. In the past I've bought my enclosures from Hella. Very high quality glass enclosures. If I was going to go H4 again and I needed to buy enclosures again I would go with Hella. I got no problem with H4's but I'm gonna try something different on my Z28.

 

if you have the same idea as me, maybe your thinking HIDs.. or do ya got somthing completly different.

 

how much do silverstars usually run. i already have them on the car and my friend gave me a set because he sold his camaro for a bird and i wanna sell them. theyre new in box.

 

bringing back an old thread....

so how much are the silverstars running for?

 

20$ a piece i believe

 

I converted to Silverstars....hi and low...much better night vision over the stockers....IMO

 

I have 6000K HIDs in E code housings, both hi and low beams.
