Re: Changing headlight bulbs

Im pretty sure stock LT1 Camaro headlights are sealed beam so there is some sort of adhesive sealing the bulb to the lense. What i did was take a razor blade to the adhesive to remove the stock bulb, then i sealed them back up with some JB weld. A high temp silicone will work also.

Careful heating of the adhesive with a propane torch will also help to ease removing the bulb.
