Headlights?
The low beams on this car suck. High beams work fine. Has anyone addressed this issue and if so what have been the best solutions?

No doubt they suck. I haven't worked on that issue yet. But I will before Daylight Savings comes back later this year.

We did an upgrade to our Z/28, and went with the OEM RS lights, yes they add 4LB with the harness, but then replacing the front crash bar saved 11LB, so it made up for the extra LB we added.
Here we are at a club meet. |

What did the conversion cost? Also, how much work is involved in the conversion?

You wouldn't happen to have a step by step on how to do this mod? Obviously just the real painstakingly hard part on removing the bumper.

Agreed 100% Z/28 Head-lamps suck big time.
Gonna most likely pull the trigger on these HIDs and Fog Lamps. Please Advise. https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/...-rs-headlights https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/...og-light-kit-1 |

I swapped my bulbs for the sylvania ZXE. Worked fine for me. Fast forward to the end, I have a couple of still shots.

Nice DIY 1970judge, but in the past I have found that upgrading the bulbs will damage you connecter, that's why on our 2010 car we did the headlight update to the RS units.
