The
late trend of HID lights, clear lights, projector lights
and what not has grown real popular over the last few years.
Some say that this is best left to the import guys and sport
trucks, but I think it can look very nice on a Camaro and
other domestics as well. Clear taillights and "Altezza"
style taillights is pushing it in my book though!
When I decided to do a headlight upgrade
on the Camaro, I had several ideas in mind. One was to get
a set of fullsize truck projector lamps and custom fit them,
but I couldn't decide if I liked it or not after numerous
"photoshop-versions". So, I went with my other
choice which basically involves an H4 conversion with crystal
clear headlights. The H4 bulbs are replaceable compared
to the stock sealed beam lights where one has to replace
the whole lamp when they go out.
After looking high and low for a design
that I liked, I finally came across one on ebay.com. My
main goal was that it should not look good and not "cheap".
There are several brands out there that have a reflector
that has way too much of a diamond-like look for my taste.
The
company that sold the lights I bought, was Initial
K. Auto Concepts, Inc. out of Walnut, California.
They were a breeze to work with and the headlights were
definitely of a quality I would recommend anyone.
The installation of the lights are really
pretty simple. This was especially since the kit I got included
the pigtails needed to convert the stock wiring to accomodate
the H4 bulbs.
