Default headlights

My headlights for my '95Z camaro are coming time to be replaced, I want to get something better than stock but not quite HID. Does anyone know if they have anything like that?

There were a few companies making square headlight housings that look stock but take a replacement bulb like the 98-02 cars. I can't remember any names but I'm sure you can search for something like that. If you find the names of those companies or a site that sells them please let me know. I'm looking for the same thing right now.

i used the stock headlight housing and popped the old bulbs out and put silver star ultras in there place, they fit snug in there but i also used grey rtv to "glue" them in. that was six months ago and they are still very secure. just make sure the connector is the same.

Mann if you can swing $300 for real HID they are worth every penny. I've got the 43 Kelvin and it's like daylight.

I personally prefer yellow light to the white or HID's. Sylvania has some extra bright normals that really light **** up for standard 'low' beams.

Hey thanks guys. I am going to go with the silverstar ultras, says they last longer as well as being brighter.
