Headlight Thread
 
A good way to improve a 93-96 Camaro's headlights (not including the SilverStars because that's more of a jerry-rigging job) is to purchase entirely new headlights. There's three popular forms (listing them by the most common of the kind, IE normally the circular ones are PIAAs):
    Personally, I like the circular ones because it'd go with the DG Motorsports grill, but I can't make up my mind just what I like.. so poll time. Here's the pics:

    Semi-Square / Oval Hella's:

    The two pics that give an idea of what I like:

    The sealed beam conversions are basically stock lights, so I don't think I need to show a lot of pics, but here's how it looks now:

    i dont really like the circular ones because they dont take up enough space. theres too much space around the little circles, kinda empty looking, plus, the circles dont quite follow with the shape of the rest of the car, the oval ones look more fitting i think.

    Hmm I dont really know on this one.. With your car the circle ones could look neat, but who knows.. Sorry I couldn't really help on this one..

    Normally I wouldn't say this but because of your car's layout and your foglights go with the PIAA.

    I don't care for the circular ones it makes it look like they are in a tunnel or something

    I second that

    Circular, go with your grille.. Those are the ones I was, and am still considering for Mayhem. Or the sealed beam ones would be an okay choice, that's what I have now. I hate the oval ones.

    geez. i just swapped with some xenon bulbs from ebay and bam, better lighting. dont spend so much money on lights, youre better off simply not driving at night :nana:

    meissen 05-29-2005 07:39 PM

    I think I'm definitely going to do the PIAA conversion, just a matter of $$. It's going to cost about 260.

    RFF 05-30-2005 02:29 AM

    Semi square or sealed beam conversion.

    MeenZ28 05-30-2005 03:12 AM

    Honestly, because of my... er.... your grill, I'd do the round headlight conversion. Just seems to fit it better. But that money could be much better spent elsewhere you know.

    Yeah, that's why I haven't really worried about it right now. I don't even use my headlights because my passenger side has been burned out for over a month now, and the fog lights are definitely bright enough to pass as "Headlights" to cops... driven by many cops after dark and they don't do anything. Depends on what the next few checks turn out to be. I'd like to get the appearance done ASAP while I still am getting really nice checks.

    I always wanted to do the FF75 headlights on my 96......I just think they look sooooo clean. I don't really care for the round ones, they look kinda funny imo.
