Superformance Cobra Headlight Upgrade Help

[eschaider]

Have you asked these questions to the people you bought your car from yet?

Yes sir, I have inquired upgrading my headlights with the shop that installed my engine. At $200/hr, they are more the willing to accommodate my request and install whatever headlights I choose.

The installer is not the firm that sold you your car. The installer is the individual who put the engine of your choice into your car. If you have a Superformance, as you indicate you do, the car was bought from one of Superformance's dealers — if it was bought new.

Irrespective of how it was bought, if you prefer not to go back to your dealer, then you can contact Hillbank Motor Corporation in Irvine, CA. Hillbank is the licensing authority for all Superformance Dealers in the US. They also sell the full line of Superformance replica and Shelby continuation vehicles.

Their facility houses a parts department that supports all the vehicles they sell and with a very high probability can give you the correct answer to your question — without charging you $200 per hour.


p.s. With small hand tools a headlight change is easily accomplished at home with minimal effort. If this sort of maintenance /modification represents a significant challenge for you, it is minuscule to the remainder of the Cobra experience. With that in mind, you might want to consider re-assessing how far down the Cobra rabbit hole you want to go.

The OP is in Phoenix. Didn't Hillbank have a Phoenix area store? I just looked and it's no longer listed... I was going to suggest he just saunter on down and ask but that doesn't seem possible...

Sage advice to any new Cobra owner. Cobras are a tinkerer's delight (or nightmare, depending on where your skill set lies). There is pretty much always something to do - some minor repair or preventive maintenance - or something you want to do (mods). If you want a car that you get in, drive and put away in the garage only to get in and drive next time, buy a Corvette.
