Replaced those HIDEIOUS and I mean HIDEIOUS eBay headlights and installed some good-old Philips Bluevision Sealed Beams. I got them in the clearance aisle at the local Menards (like Home depot) for 5 bucks each!!!

Now I can drive at night, and see... dancin_banana.gif

Here's with the old headlights;

I don't have any pictures with the new ones, but they are just regular Halogen Sealed Beams..

Lighting may have been bad due to the black reflectors. I have a set of Pilot globes sitting in the barn in MI. The glue on one of them came loose, I believe the lenses are glass. Beam pattern is pretty nice imo, I like them a lot better than regular sealed beams. I got them at Autozone for $40 believe it or not 8)

The first pair I bought was a set of APCs. They had cheap plastic lenses, and were yellowed (one got a cracked lens) within the year :roll: I won't say how much I spent on those :oops:

have to wash the car tonight and get it ready for the new sponsor decals and change the oil and plugs. Going to be competing in the NHRA Div 6 Finals this weekend. Four days off of racing is killing me. Went to the quarteer finals on Sunday and broke out even though I let off at the 1200' mark and scrubbed off 8mph. Oh well I am ready for this weekend that is all that matters.
