My Corvette(s):
Default ** PIAA lamps on a 96 CE **

I would like to replace my headlamps and stock fogs with PIAA lamps/bulbs and/or light kits. Do you guys have any experience with these PIAA products? Any recommendations??

As we all know, the stock setup stinks and throws little light. I'd like to be able to have a bright set of fogs and better low-beam performance. The site (http://www.piaa.com/) has tons of info but I'm a little confused...

Thanks in advance for your recomendations...

I know piaa makes high quality stuff, I don't know what you want to do though... change the whole housing to a couple of round lights?

Interesting...several threads lately about headlights....
I replaced the heavy, motor eating glass headlights for the plastic, on the diet with changeable high intensity blue bulbs headlights. The wattage is 80 on low and 130 on high beam. I also replaced the fogs from 35 to 55 watts halogen. No that I can see at night like during the day is great for me...but I am getting quite tired of having to kick the high beams on to let others know I am running the low beams. The headlights by themselves are fine, but add in the fogs and it is a bit much. But then again it is quite bothersome all the little ricer cars that have more lights then the xmas tree at the White House.
Gee I wonder what my 85 would look like with red neon around the license plates and on the wipers and all under the car lite up with red neon? Ought to be a law....
Plastic headlights really is the way to go....

there actually is a law (in Florida at least) about exposed neon lights... not legal, but most ricers just get a ticket and pay it, instead of actually fixing the lights
