Default rectangle lights

im intrested in buying these lights to replace the pop up vacume ones does anyone know how to install these types of lights and if so is it fairly easy as far as hooking up to the electrical system or does there need to be changes made. And are they even worth buying or do they like the popups have problems

I have to assume you referring to the Ecklers sugar scoop tray with later bults in there, I had them long time ago....they are fine and remove some 50 lbs of excess stupid weight off the front end...

much less simplify hell out of the vacuum plumbing....

I think it's a good change....so see my pix here or site at shutterfly, for a shot of them modded to take later lo profile rectangular type Camaro bulbs....much sleeker looking but you gotta do some fiberglass work and then of course.....PAINT.....

FIA's from back in the day with the bubble covers were round. www.fgreggracing.com had reprops, but their site was down/gone last time I tried them. Guldstrand might can help, if your interested.

No appreciable electrical changes, but it does remove lots of vacuum stuff. I don't like them, the pop-up lights are part of the C3 "mistique" IMHO.
