I want to replace my headlights, potentially with after market HIDs. To save me taking off the rear covers one evening this week, does anyone know what the different light bulb fittings are? e.g. H4 or H7 etc

Also is one unit side, one dipped and one full beam?

Thanks

you may find that a hid conversion makes the lights hit the wheels on ful lock. Only know of one guy that has done it, and he chopped the front clip in two and extended it...

Would also have thought the HIDs would be too hot in the housing and with plastic covers.

Arh, but Xenons (HIDs) run cooler and are a lot brighter! So heat is reduced along with current consuption! Bargin!

I'll take a few measurements

My corvette has them with covers etc so not sure that should be an issue
