Default D9 - Dual GTS Headlight

Has anyone purchased and installed the D9 GTS Headlight Assemblies? How was the install process and functionality of lights? Thank you ..... looking for an alternative to OEM parts.

GeorgeD is the only one I know of that has a dual projector set and he got the first ones.
I and quite a few others have the "square" GTS lights. Not OEM fitment or quality, but do the job. I modified mine from square to projector.

From what I hear the D9 products are all top quality, plug and play....and they ain't cheap.

GT Racing has poor fitment at best. A true "do it yourself" kit .

I've e-mailed them and talked to them through Lindsey Racing, they said that they have not heard of anyone having issues with their kits (maybe as of late, at least?)

I concur. Regardless of what they say it is not a good fit on an early car. I am waiting for someone to come up with something better. On the plus side, it sure cleans up the front of the engine bay.

when did you guys get your kits? maybe the quality has improved? reason I want one, is because my pop-ups only open and not close, and I'm tired of trying to figure out the problem; plus I've already gotten rid of a lot of weight form interior and A/C, so all that's left is headlights and fiberglass body parts

TexasPerfomance has some kind of a conversion kit, but I haven't been able to get ANY feedback on it

I've seen that, but if its possible to get a kit that fits good, I'd rather do that
