LED or better head light options questio
Anyone know what head lights these are? I want to buy them or some LED/ brighter light alternative. Please post pics as I do not want the xmas lights or dots that make it look super modern.

Could be Nighthawks (hard to find) or truck lite

Re: LED or better head light options questio
In my opinion the LED lights look tacky and out of place on a car originally equipped with sealed beams.
I have upgraded to Hella headlight housings & bulbs and am completely satisfied. Very bright, excellent light distribution. On par with modern headlights. I liked them so much on my ZR-1 that I have been upgrading all of my sealed beam classic cars to Hellas. https://www.ecklers.com/1984-1996-co...-108660-1.html |

With no screwing around with LEDs.... Fog lights? They're useless no matter what kind of bulbs you put in them due to crappy lenses. They're only there for decoration. |

My fog lights work great with LED. But 1990 lenses are different

Re: LED or better head light options questio
I decided to go with EAGLE lights as GE nighthawks are hard to find & truck lite is expensive. 20% off so $250 down to $200 for the pair. Bought the resistor too.
Thanks for input guys. Now it?s time to order tune up parts and replace rubber in my vacuum lines. I started with MAP sensor from advice of George + Jim in Wazoo and the car finally opened up the secondaries but boggs until partial throttlw. So i believe i still have a small leak |

I did my LED conversion for the benefit of less of a load..
