I'm partial to my old flip up lights. I think those lights look better on the LT1 than the one's for the LS1 but, I would still have to vote no.

If they would just get rid of the god damn sealed beam rectangular lamp and stick an h4 or something in there, they'd look ten million times better.

Yeah, I think you're thinking of the 300ZX. I see it in the front with those lights too.

they look pretty good on LT1 cars but I think they look like *** on LS1 cars, although it does kind of resemble a Nissan 300 ZX from the front like some one mentioned earlier....

i really like those but the only way to justify them would be to retrofit an hid set up. I think theyd look good on any lt1 even if it wasnt black. BUt when you gwet back to some of those older models theyr only worth so much anymore..can you really hustify spending 1/5 the price of your entire car on a set of headlights?...i think so cause im buying a set for my 95!!! lol buy em

i agree, they would look good if they were darker to match the body color

They look infinitely better than the LS1 versions IMO. They look like they fit well and everything. I still don't like the sealed beam for though, it needs HID's.
