Did this involve any wiring modifications or plug and play?
Did it make a decent difference?
Do you have a part number by chance?
Thanks!!

No wiring modifications needed. The new lights are slightly brighter, white, and have a little broader beam. Small gains across the board and I'm happy it still appears stock.

They look like the ZBeams but the lens is different.
They take an H4 bulb, so you could use the higher watt bulbs.

Hey guys! Do not run Mobile-1 in your ZR-1. It will help destroy the flat tappet camshafts in the engine. Use Z-Rod by Amsoil. It has the proper zinc content to keep the engine healthy. Of course, get rid of the cats!

I can't speak to the Hella option. But, I can speak to the LED route!

Installation is hardly more difficult than replacing any headlight, with the exception of clipping in the load resistor.

The illumination as compared to the stock is as profound as switching from fog lights to (stock) low beams. I don't know what is in my F250 or Buick Enclave, but they take a back seat to those LEDs in the Z.

They ARE bright. And, like anytime new headlights are installed, they may need to be aimed for safety and optimum vision. But, the (proper, approved) LEDs have a sharp cutoff which combines with the Vette's low height to the ground to easily be aimed to avoid shining in on-coming dirver's eyes. Trust me! (I've had mine for a couple years now an no complaints or ppl flashing me with low beams on.)

One load resistor for each headlight = plugs right in series - and good to go!

Paul, do these load resistors fit ok inside the headlight buckets, behind the LED headlamps? Any need to secure them down, or can you just zip tie them to the harness and let them "flop around" inside the buckets?
