Default Looking for brighter replacement headlights.

Hey guys I need to replace my headlights and I'm going to do the high beams as well I wanted to try the new Sylvania Ultras but I was told they don't make them for the 93-97 Camaros. Are there any other options other than HIDs or Projector beams, I would prefer something easy and straight forward and I'm also not trying to spend $200 or more for lights?

To be honnest I don't think you will find a descent replacement bulb. What I ended up doing was getting conversion housings from eurolights.com. It will come with a housing and whatever bulb choice you order with. They aren't cheap, but gives you a nice set of options when you need replacements. I have a 99 TA and did this. I got new housings and an H7 bulb with them. Had to splice the wires, but it was really easy. They make a conversion housing for the camaro too. Mine are not HID or projector either, tho it would make doing HID's easy. Housings are good quality and I can actually see now at night.

I bought the eurolamps.com conversion housings, same as breathing fire, I just went the next step and got the HIDs. Wiring was plug and play, haven't had any problems and they look great at night.

They don't make conversions for the 4666 type bulb. I've heard of people making their own, but no one makes them.

Ya Scira's lights look awesome. You can get the same look if you want to spend the money. They are good housings.

It really wasn't too expensive. The HID kit was like $50, you can get them off of ebay, and I emailed eurolights and was able to just get the housings for around $50 also. Just wired everything up and was good to go.

I got the notice today that USPS tried to deliver my Eurolamps while I was at basketball game. They will go in next week. I decided to try the lowbeams and if I like them get the hi's later. If you order them be patient.... They advertise next day shipping but took 12 days to get here....

Same here, communication is horrible after you've paid, but they did eventually come.

The only thing that makes the H4666 unique compared to any other 4x6" light is the connector. You can make your own adapter, or nab one off of ebay that goes from a H4666 to H4 when you use the european housings.

The HID kit needs to be wired in. You have two choices, to either cut the factory connectors and wire them into the new harness, or make an adapter that will work with your kit. I opted for making my own adapter, just in case I wanted to return to stock.
