Default Euro lights

Has anybody used the Headlights from Eurolights in your trans am? I got a set but they dont fit my wire harness. I contacted eurolights, they sent me four pieces of wire with connectors crimped on the ends . I could have hacked those together in seconds .

They are oem fitment, I havent put mine on due to the "rigging" of the wiring necassary to install them. I hate to cut my harness, and with the lights moving up and down I dont like just using spade terminals to hook them up.
I am try to locate an adaptor that will go from a factory plug to an H7 bulb. Any clues?

I cut my harness but I saved it if I ever need it later and I used the quick disconnect crimp style from radioshack bring the headlight in the store so you can have the right size. strip the factory wire a little crimp the connector on and use some electrical tape for good measure plug it in and you are ready to go. The difference is very nice and a nice alternative if you don't want to'/can't afford to go full hid. This really was a quick install and worthwhile.

I bought the Eurolights, but used Silverstar bulbs. I spliced connectors that were compatible with the Silverstars onto the factory wiring.

So how do you like them over stock lights?

I like the look. As far as vision benefits, I really can't tell a difference between the stock sealed beam and the Silverstar bulbs.

I have the silverstar fog lights and WOW big difference over normal bulbs

I will probably end up buying the Silverstar sealed beams

although I was entertaining the thought of converting like you did Y2K

At the time I did mine, Silverstars weren't available as a sealed beam in the size that I needed.
