Headlight Conversion question I saw a guy that had headlights that looked like the new corvette lights. They didn't have any motorization. Does anyone know anything about a conversion kit or where I can look to find something like this?

Breathless is the brand. There happens to be one in the Parts for Sale Forum right now: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ght=breathless

Those headlights are very expensive new, somewhere around 1100.00ish. they do have a little flaw, they hold my hood up about 1" higher than it should be. but you can see what they look like on my car at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2449493

I just would like to see someone step up to the plate and make a conversion for a LT1 bird.
As for the quality of the headlight motors, they are good pieces, its just the nylon gear that sucks. and since the f-bodies werent making alot of money to begin with why would they go all out and have premium parts up there when a nylon gear and the other crappy parts work for a good while

I saw one where there were the bulbs kinda stuck out from some black plastic, I don't know if that's whay you were talking about. But I like how the bulbs are still behind the plastic like that. Granted, on ours it'd be two pieces.
