Am considering improving lighting on my ('94) C4 -- I assume the the OEM's are Quartz....Is there an HID conversion or at least better h/lights available? They're not bright enough for me.

Thanks,
 Colin.

You could install the Sylvania Silverstars.No mods to your Vette and about 30% brighter than factory Halogens

Someone here did do an HID conversion not too long ago, iirc. Not too tough of a job. Gotta see if I can find the thread....

I went with those Silverstars -- They came highly recommended and were not too costly.
 I like them and seem to throw more light out there than the Wagner bulbs I removed.

The HID conversion is nice too and no doubt more effective but a lot more $$ than I wish to spend at the moment.

Definitely something for the future tho.

Thanks everyone.

Colin.
