    Every time I take my Challenger out at night, I am suprised at how dull the lighting is.      = dangerous

    I think what youve done GGAC is an excellent upgrade for all the right reasons.

    I can relate. My 77 Harley has one 7" headlight, and to put it lightly, night driving sucks! Just got my new 07 Harley with the new style 7" light, what a difference! :scared:

    Looks great! Did you have to modify the headlight buckets at all to get them to fit? I was tired of the dim headlights on my '72 Cuda, and I recently bought some sealed beam halogen replacements. My headlights still flicker and are dim at idle so I'm doing the relay mod next. For the cost of those headlights you got, I just may go for a set.

    The new ones that looks like Beemerlights just make you see white dotes for minutes, but you see great when having them :bigsmile:

    Goodyman, I had the dimming light issue years ago & solved by removing & burnishing every connection from the alternator, voltage reg., battery connection & ground ( the motor to body ground strap & neg. battery termimal to body). If you have a Dremmel or similar rotary tool there is a soft metal wheel that works great.

    I'm sorry but they would probably have to grow on me. For some reason (to me and it looks like only me), but they look out of place with the rest of the car. And what a beautiful car it is though. I guess its a question of functionality over appearance.

    Well they definately function better. the look is a little different, but really..in person, unless you are staring at them you wont notice. I have since painted the lense retaining rings black to further make it not stand out so much. Subtle, but noticeable. Given the wheels, the gauges and all that jazz..the car isn't quite stock so it might go a little more if you didn't know that. But i appriciate it.  :bigshades: :cheers:

    That will probably tone it down a little. Its just that quite honestly when I first joined this forum I didn't really like Cuda's and yours is one of the first ones to start turning me over to the dark side. I really would love to have a Cuda in my garage now also. Your car is very clean and as you put it subtle - A very clean and unassuming look - Thanks.
