Back in the day, wasn't GM going to the plastic lites due to a weight concern?
Easier on the operating mechanism.
Not an issue any more?
Agreed stock lites are terrible!
In the 3 C4s I've owned , they all ran Hella Z Beams w/H4 55/100w bulbs.
Way better than stock 55/60w halogens! 100/130w bulbs would probably work better but I'd be concerned with current draw, not to mention way too bright for low beams.
What do the LEDs look like on low beam to the oncoming traffic?
Could be an excuse to stop you if the oncoming traffic's a cop...
