Hi guys,
What kind of lights are you using?
I wanted to replace my sealed beams with something else and I found this:
http://eurolamps.com/eurolamps/sealedbeams.htm
http://www.rallylights.com/hella/150mm.asp
They both offer a conversion from sealed beams to a lamp with an interchangeable bulb.
The original F-bodies lights are soooo bad...
Thanks
Stefano

In the process of getting the German TÃœV registration, the headlights on the Firebird were exchanged for a set of Hella ones ... they were a direct fit, same mounting holes etc ... just had to adapt the cable to fit them. The light's not much better, though IMHO ... they still suck compared to the Xenon lights on my Volvo ...
If anybody needs the part#, let me know ...

Where did you get them from?
In Europe? USA?
What price?
Those from here http://www.rallylights.com/hella/150mm.asp are pretty expensive (the complete set - high & low beam cost $406 + $40 shipping).
OK, now the Dollar is pretty low but still...

German car place ... can't really say what they cost, but I think they were something like 100-150€ for the pair ...
