jayzi Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi guys. Has anybody ever tried to install clear headlights like these? I'm curious how that would look. The lamp holder probably needs to be changed a lil bit to accommodate the bigger bulb holder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsmc Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 you may have to alter the core support as well as the headlight buckets. they look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC-71 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The only mod is you need to make the round hole in the headlight bucket a little larger. If my memory is correct it's cnly a 1/8". You can do it right in place with a dremel tool. Look around Canada, I'm sure someone sells them. The headlight connector will also plug right in.

NewTimer Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Cost a lot more but have you seen what Quarterbotty did with his headlights? Here is the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzi Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 That looks uhm... special. However it wouldn't be street legal in Germany and you are right, these ligths are really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzi Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I finally found the time to cut the headlight bucket and install clearlight headlights. I'm really happy about the outcome. First I was fearing it could look too modern but I think it fits the chrome headlight bezel perfectly. In the photo below the new headlight is left, the old one in the right for comparison.

Ian Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 What kind of bulbs do they use? Are they replaceable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzi Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have bought these here http://www.ebay.de/itm/170997376308. They have replacable H4 bulbs which is the standard bulb I have seen on most of the 7" headlights. They also include the parking light which is a legal requirement in Germany. We are not allowed to use the yellow US parking light unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have replacable H4 bulbs which is the standard bulb I have seen on most of the 7" headlights. They also include the parking light which is a legal requirement in Germany. We are not allowed to use the yellow US parking light unfortunately. So what is the German parking light? Is it simply a lower setting of the headlights or is there some colour to it? How do you control them? What happens to the tailights when your euro parking lights are on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzi Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 It's an additional little white bulb. I think it's not different to your yellow light besides the color but in Germany you are not allowed to use the (also yellow) indicators as parking light. It's always on when the low beam is on. And the taillight is also active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 sounds like our daytime running lights, my '07 GMC has them but I put amber bulbs in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzi Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Daytime running lights are a different story. These are additional bulbs and a legal requirement in many European countries e.g Germany since some years for new cars and can be added to older cars.
