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 |

Re: LED or better head light options questio
I did my LED conversion for the benefit of less of a load..

Re: LED or better head light options questio
I did my LEDs for safety and for less load like -=JEFF=- I had the hella housings and even the HID projector conversions before I went to LED and I am not going back. They are by far superior than OEM and safer

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. |

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 |
