Tungsten Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Why are you replacing the headlights? Is the bulb burned out? You can just change the bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShep704 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 nope. wrecked it and took a lot of the front end off. driver headlight, both corner lights, and turn signals on bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Check RockAuto, they're around $100 each there. Does your 1996 have glass headlamps? My 2001.5 has plastic headlamps and they're like $25 each aftermarket. If you order from RockAuto be sure to use a 5% discount code.

WOT Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 wire up a cheap (or good if you keep it permanent) foglight in its spot, on a toggle or be baller and wire it to relay Theres a newer camaro in my town that took out the headlights for show I assume and put in 2 oval ricer foglights. Would save you the police hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah looks like the entire front end will have to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShep704 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 no he didnt say anything about the other lights. but yes, they are glass headlights. i found that out after they were laying all over the trail haha. but between all that, clutch going out, tailight also needs to be replaced (duck taped on right now) and countless other little things, im thinking it might be time to get rid of her...
