dse bright driving lights
Looking at the headlights that DSE sells for my Camaro. Just curious if anyone has any experience installing these? Was wondering whats involved. Thanks.

It is a basic plug in deal as far as wiring goes. Although I had to trim the light bucket a little, it's no big deal.

Could not be any easier.. ran them on my '69 and they look great off and worked great when on
Just plug and play.."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Nova these are much more than a halogen headlamp (sealed beam) these are 7 inch round reflector housings which run the newer style H4 or 9007 bulbs.
They require more room behind them than a standard bulb.Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

Thanks for the input. I didn't think it would be a big deal.

Not to steer business away from DSE...
the housings themselves are just Trucklite 7" 9007 Poly-carbonate housings, sylvania bulbs and an American Autowire 9007 to sealed beam adapter harness....
look hard enough I bet you can find them for a lot less than what DSE is asking

Yeah, I got headlights like those for 30 dollars on EBAY. Just a little trim and they look awsome. Originally Posted by aonghus
