Re: Are Hella headlights any good?

Yep, a lot like the one's in post #7, except for the little blue accent light. Pilot is the brand name of the lights that I have. Although, they don't fit perfect, they are a little undersized. But, then the Hella's that I put in my 66 Chevelle were a little undersized as well.

But then you have to buy the H4 bulbs which are about $15 each. Plus the 2 relay kits, for a grand total of around $200.

Re: Are Hella headlights any good?

I also had to make a hole in my core support because of the back of the light is larger than the original. I had to do it with my Chevelle and the 72 GMC truck.
