Car Details:Camaro genII 1978 LT with later heads from IROC Edelbrock 600cfm carb and performer inlet manifold and period wheels.
All factory items fitted and working. Aircon and Cruise
Silver with Ox blood interior.
Sorry for a simple question, but want to be sure before ordering.
Are the headlamps on Gen II simple 7 inch H4 items? If so best place to order some as my reflector matetial has dulled over time.

Recomendations welcome

I believe so! Chevy Stu was telling me that mini lights (the old mini's, not the new beefy ones) will fit, plus they are good because they have a sidelight built into them, so you can wire them up so have clear running lights in the headlight, then yellow indicators in the factory running light & indicator spot.

They are indeed - the mounting tabs are very slightly different on the US ones, but standard 7" uk ones do fit. It's what I am using in mine with no problem.

Cool will go shop.
As an aside I have silver bulbs in side light turn signal holder which flash amber.
Really cleans up looks.
Headlights on mine have side lights but guess fitted when imported so 30 plus years old.
Tks for info guys.

305 replaced by a 355, 750 Demon carb, RPM AirGap intake, Brodix heads, Hedman Hedders, 3" Flowmaster exhaust.
Wheels are Summit aluminium 5 spokes, tyres are 245 rear 225 front BF Goodrich.
B/M transmission, battery relocated to the rear, GoodMark 4" cowl steel hood.
Location:Spain East Coast
My car was in the UK for a while then I bought it over here.
The initial owners bought it over from California and I have MOT fail paperwork
because of left hand headlights, took them time to get it fixed. :eh:
Over here I needed left hooker lights so I got them from America somewhere.....

Talking to the salesman at Bauer Millet I mentioned it, he tells me they have stacks of left drive headlights,
he'd have given me as many as I wanted free. :lolno:
