I started scrolling through page after page without coming to one that would show the Camaro conversion.

I've had these for about a year. Can't say anything bad about these.

I'm also looking for replacements for my '93 Camaro's sealed beam headlights. I have found only the EuroLamps.com kits but they have not answered to my emails since the first one I sent (they replied that yes, they do have the kits). Do they have a phone number? The website didn't list any...

Are there any other companies selling replacement headlight housings which take changeable bulbs if I can't get answers from Eurolamps? I heard that Hella has made housings that would fit the 4th gen Camaro but I can't find those anywhere.

Thanks!

I've had the eurolamps.com conversion for 2-3 years now. When I bought them they did take a day or two to answer e-mails but were helpful. Also the are definitely an improvement over stock. There's a recently revived HID thread a few threads up or maybe down from here right now that has a site listed for the HID upgrade that comes with the housing conversion. Can't speak for quality obviously, but they look good.

Ok thanks, I found the other thread too. Do you know if the Eurolamps.com headlights are DOT or ECE-approved?

So is the reflector inside the housing improved or is it improved simply by the fact that you can easily change bulbs?

They have the DOT on them if I recall. However they may just rebuild a sealed beam to make it accept a different bulb. The reflector is the same, but you can use different bulbs, I don't know the sizes off the top of my head but they are listed on the euro site what they actually convert to.

Ok, I hope you remember correctly the DOT thing I am allowed to mount DOT or ECE approved lights according to local laws. I put an order in for low and high beam replacements to eurolights, let's see if they answer to that email...

Don't worry about "DOT approved". It does not mean much. When I asked before, Daniel recommends the FF75s as well.

What about blue-tinted headlight bulbs that I found at a local auto parts store, or on the internet? They're sold as being "DOT Approved". Are these legal?

Probably not. There's no such thing as "DOT approved". DOT does not "approve" products as the European regulatory body does. Rather, the manufacturer of an item of motor vehicle equipment is legally obligated to self-certify that his product complies with all applicable regulations. For some items of equipment, such as headlamp bulbs, the certification takes the form of a "DOT" marking on the bulb base. However, there is no legal obligation for the manufacturer to submit his product for government testing before applying the marking, and many companies go ahead and apply the marking even to bulbs that do not comply with the law. The relevant regulations (US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 108 and 108.1, and ECE Regulations 8, 20, 37, 98, 99, 112 and 113 all call for "white" light, defined as discussed above, so the statement of DOT compliance itself is false for a bulb that emits a light color obviously different from "white".
