Default Better NON HID headlights for the 4th gen camaro??

Does GM not get that thier fawkin headlight systems suck? Maybe it is me, and, or my particuler camaro, but, once again, my headlights suck ***. They sucked on my 87, and not so great on my 94 and 97 camaros. Now I have a 98 and I can barley see the road?

Besides HID's, does Hella have anything good out there? Bulb, housing............etc???

I was thinking of replacing the slightly frosted drivers side out (pass side is brand new but sucks *** too, so, dont get too excited about my frosty unit, lol) for one of them aftermarket headlights, are they any good or should I go with GM original off a doner car?

Best auto store replacement bub opinions too......... thanks.

That's odd, I've always thought that the LS1 Camaro headlights do great for providing light on a dark road. On the other hand, the headlights on my Trans Am were poor in comparsion.

I heard silverstars were just a differant spectrum of light, nothing special?

As soon as I find out what our bulds are, ex H? or whatever, will need to see if there is something brighter out there. I was wondering about the housings too.

Projectors, roger that, will definitly search it. I did a search on "headlights and my search turned up nodda much, thanks.

i got stock bulbs in mine. i just ajusted the angle on them to make them light the road up better. i get people brighting me all the time thinking my brights are on when my dims are on. you also might want to check your headlight housings themselves. if they are hazed over that is going to restrict your light also. mine are crystal clear and i have 0 visibility problems. im going with a HID kit for all 6 lights soon.
