replacing headlights with HID?
What are the options for replacing stock 69 camaro headlights with a HID type or other style. I know DSE sells some, but are there are other choices?

DSE does not have HID. They have a Euro H4 headlight that we also carry but at half the cost and just as good. We are working on a 4 light H4 set up and think we have secured a HID system that is marketable pricewise. Hoping to have available soon.

Keep in mind, there are very few true HID 2 headlight conversions that retain high beams and a LOT of the lower priced stuff uses generic ballasts that may not be designed for use with lighting applications. Also, most HID bulbs are not designed to work in the standard style reflectors. The arc in an HID bulb runs & front-to-back instead of left-to-right as compared to the normal bulb filament, so if you're not switching to projectors or true HID optics, you will definitely get more lumens, but probably put less of it where you need it.
Just some thoughts.
