So I go into Autozone yesterday and asked for a low beam headlight for my 93 Z28. The guy comes back with a $25.99 Sylvania bulb. I started laughing and told him that I don't want a "high intensity" bulb, just a plain 'ole cheapo. He said that bulb was the cheapest they carry. Bye-bye.

I then drove across the street to Advanced Auto Parts where I found the exact same Sylvania bulb but for $29.99! Are you kidding me? Needless to say I didn't buy anything and am still driving around with a Popeye.

I've owned this car for over 10 years now and I specifically remember purchasing low (and high) beam headlights many years ago for around $8. What the hell happened to the headlight industry? Where can I find an El Cheapo?

Thanks in advance!

 

They are that expensive. Always have been. The beams fit only a small number of cars. You're going to have to deal with it like everyone else.

 

The bulb can be removed and glued back in... Search the Appearance Section... There are a few threads about this... Most change over to silverstars..

 

Don't be cheap! You want to play, you have to pay. Deal with it or sell the car.

 

Want cheap, hit the wrecking yards... I can even give you a list of cars that has those headlights if you want. Just pm me in case I forget to check this thread again.
