I hate these headlights!

2006 Nimbus. I've replaced the bulbs and they are fine but the fixtures are so dated it makes the coach look it's age. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I see tons of replacements on ebay and Amazon but has anyone had any recent experience with a certain brand?  Thanks Eddie

A significant number of us have had headlight conversions done at FOT or Xtreme in Nac.  It's a bit of an investment, but it will make the front end look about 10 years younger  ;)  and the night driving will be a lot safer.

If you search the forum for headlight conversion (hover over Community, select Search) you'll see lots of examples of both shops' work.

We had ours done because those OEM headlights were absolutely useless at night.

Doing a search and not finding a lot of pictures to compare. Please feel free to post a link if you see something that you think looks good. Thanks Eddie

Need to figure out what years headlights Foretravel used
Amazon.com: SPEC-D TUNING Black Housing Clear Lens LED Halo Projector...

Projection are the way to go IMO
I Know nothing  about these. I've used miromoto in the past with great results

I saw these. They look pretty nice but not sure of the quality. I'll look up the Miromoto.

Biased, but this was ours (and is now Dan's)

Headlight conversion costs? (split from FOR SALE 1999 FORETRAVEL U270 36')

At the time, I believe FOT would sell you a conversion kit if you had someone to do the fiberglass/paint.

Also look into projector headlights for a Chevy Silverado:

Fog Lights no power and part of the running lights?

New HID headlight option for 02-05 coaches
