Halogen Infrared Reflecting bulbs

http://k1vra.com/hir.html
I don't know if these will work on a camaro or not, but they will work on my 96 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Here's some information on halogen bulbs.

I bought some Narva Range Power+50 bulbs and some Autopal replacement headlamps for my GTA. The rangepower+ 50 Output is 1890/1145 lumens. Close to the lumens of the standard 9005 9006 in my pontiac grand prix. I have trouble with my night vision and I needed some better bulbs in my gta.

That first page reads like an advertisement, not a FACT page.

I've been extremely happy with my Sylvania Silverstars. I switched to H4s, but switched back. The H4s SUCKED! Scared the crap outta me to drive at night, and I live in B.F.E., where GOOD lights are REQUIRED!

Re: Halogen Infrared Reflecting bulbs

Yeah you don't want to blind oncoming traffic. I just want the beams to go out further. The standard sealed beams on my gta are dim compared to the 9005 and 9006 bulbs on my grand prix. Oh well if it is too bright I can always go back to the sealed beams on the gta. I was wondering what bfe meant. Out in the middle of no where.

Wish they told you how many lumens the sealed beam Silverstar headlamps put out. Well the fog lights/driving lights you would want choose from are these two Fog/Driving light

Yep...I have the Silverstars.

For your headlights, they are 91/92s shorter lights, not 6054s. The fog.driving lights are li he said above....H3 bulbs, not sealed beams.

I'm picking up the H3 STs (SilverStars) for my fog lights next trip out. And I need to replace one of my 6054ST head lights. All the reflective silver on the back, burned off I'm practically driving with only 1 headlights. The"dead" one is virtually useless. I can block it & watch the area ahead of my car...No lighting difference, so it isn't really projecting much light out anymore.

I've even got a 2nd set of factory fog lights & have thought about cutting my front bumper cover to fit them in, making 4 fog lights!
