Default idea stolen from the c5r team

well i was taking a break from working on the vette and noticed that two 4inch or so round headlights/foglamps would fit nicely where the front license plate goes...the area is even recessed... what do ya'll think.....

it would certainly help my anemic lighting situation...

It would look :cool:

It's been done on some early SCCA cars where the headlight doors are 'fixed' and the only lighting is from 2 center lights in the license plate area. I can't seem to locate the picture, though. :skep:

Last time I checked...nothing was available for our headlight systems? When did Sylvania make the Xenon available?

I have a setup that hangs right there made of two Police spotlights! Hooks to the highbeams and is almost unusable it's so bright. I'll take a picture...

Well,it all begun when i read a Tech WriteUp made by 71`airstrike (thanks for the support Chad :thumbs: )Heres his write up on his HiD Conversion.. https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=225&TopicID=1

I got a kit of Ebay with H4 bulbs because i allready had H4 headlights (European conversion).The installment went fairly easy but it requires some cutting and planning.But i`m very happy with the result :cheers: :cheers:

Where would you mount your front license plate. You are running TX plates aren't you?

There is a pic in 'how to restore your 1968-1982 vette" that has twin lights in the front licence plate area.
