Hella FF75 Conversion anyone?
To VIP1, I'm in stock housings currently. I suppose I could still do the HID conversion to the stock housings, but with the beam pattern they give off, I'd surely be blinding everyone else, and probably not helping myself a whole lot.

I'd recommend a Sylvania XtraVision, GE NightHawk, or Phillips VisionPlus instead of the Sylvania SilverStar. I don't know how the SilverStar Ultra compares though.
Pictures i can take, i cannot take pictures of the light pattern cause my whole front end is off the car! Maybe you can send me an email adress so i can mail you some pictures,sorry i don't have them online! I'm not sure if you would be happy, i like them they certainly look better then stock even the lighting is better but i'm not all that satisfied. I used the driving/fog combo and i got them at advanced autoparts,don't remember how much!
So you used the Fog lights for the low beams and driving lights for the high beams? Does the pattern of the fog light have a pretty decent cutoff and such?
TheGr8Schlotzky@msn.com is my email address, thanks
to VIP1, like I was saying, I've already done the sealed beam conversion, but now that I think of it, it wasn't silverstars that I used, but I can't say I remember exactly what bulbs I used. They are certainly whiter, and brighter than stock.

Check out this WebShots Gallery I found:

Unfortunately, it doesn't say if those are the fog or driving version. Based on the amount of light going upward, I'd guess driving.

I found a write-up:

You don't need the relay harness though since the stock bulbs and the bulbs in the FF75 are both rated at 55W.

Doesn't look like anything has come out of it yet although I didn't read all the pages (there are 42 pages). I read the first few and last few.

At this point it's down to the beam pattern to make up my mind. If there isn't a decent cutoff or anything, I will probably just go for an HID conversion in my stock housings.
What was this talk about fabbing a projector into my housings? If this has been done, I'm interested to see what's involved and how doable it is.
Again, thanks for all the help!

Kinda like this, but for an LT1:

I don't know if there is enough room though (probably not unfortunately).
I suppose I could just do a Hella 90mm projector conversion and either drill out the stock glass and have it kinda sit in there and sort of still have the rectangular look...Or I could just put my headlight covers back on and keep them on..

Vicious95Z28, I removed the link because a cyber-squatter took it over.
Is this the site you meant?
http://bellsouthpwp.net/m/u/mulgeary/Hella90/
(the BellSouth email address tipped me off)
That link is listed in the Lighting FAQ.
