Headlight sealed bean conversion kits!mike445 12-01-2003, 12:29 AM I found a great product for our cars with those horrible sealed beam headlights!! Check out this link and scroll down to 4351 which are our lows and 4352 which are our highs. The conversion kits slip right in the stock spot and take 9006 bulbs for low and 9005 bulbs for high!! HAS to be better than the crap we use now! Check it out : http://www.autooptiks.com/convmat.html Mike :) AW/whiteZ-28 12-01-2003, 01:19 AM They are worth it their reflectors suck lots of people have had complaints about them:( 94BlackBowtie 12-01-2003, 08:23 AM Originally posted by mike445 I found a great product for our cars with those horrible sealed beam headlights!!

They are very poor quality...HAS to be better than the crap we use now! Don't count on it - my money is on the stock headlights. These things are horrible - I never even drive with them. Search for AutoOptiks in this section and you should find some reviews. mike445 12-01-2003, 05:57 PM Are they better than stock or are they a total waste. Thanks. I can see y'all are not too excited about these things!! Mike :) 94BlackBowtie 12-02-2003, 09:05 AM I vote worse than stock and a total waste. pu12en12g 12-02-2003, 10:15 AM Do a search on "autooptiks" and you will see that they are worse than stock and a total waste. - They don't seal properly, leading to condensation - They don't center the bulb properly in the housing - Poor quality / manufacturing / flimsy parts - Requires modification of the stock housing mounts or else the glass will explode mike445 12-02-2003, 02:28 PM WOW!! Thanks for the info y'all. I will run away from this idea! Appreciate the replies. I'll just pull the bulb off the sealed beam and put a new bulb on. :) Mike :) JTS95TA 12-02-2003, 06:49 PM Yeah you can pry out the original bulb in the stock sealed beam housing and replace that. A buddy did that in his 97 SS using Sylvania Silverstars 9006 bulbs. I guess its a little brighter, but also made a little more glare. I on the other hand have anything but a stock sealed beam:-) stangkilla1 12-03-2003, 10:46 AM I run with Krypton blue 9006's in my 2000, it has that blue/hyper white look. I have'nt had any problems and they came with a "lifetime" guarantee (ebay). In my 86 Z/28 I have GR matrix H-4 conversions with Hyper white bulbs that I bought from Summit. Check out Summit, jegz, Ebay, JC Whitney or just do a search on any engine site (lycos, yahoo etc..). There are also some that I saw for your model called Rytek, It gives you a smaller circle headlight but it's different. Hope it helps But yea, dont buy from a site like the one you showed. They dont even show a picture of what it looks like!! | ||
