We all love our Astros or Safaris; but those old sealed beam headlights just aren't any good. Join me as i upgrade my 2000 astro safari to H4 conversion headlights. Kit used in this video: HELLA 003427811 #astrovan#vanlife#headlights
I really appreciate the effort put into these videos. Really glad I someone took the time to specialize in these vans. I Just bought a 98 Astro van for work. 300K miles but man I swear it sounds amazing. Not a single odd noise when she is running.
These older chevy's are generally very reliable if you take care of them good. and even if you don't they are still built tough. Old tranny in my astro had over 200k miles with no fluid change and still worked although it finally died this year.
thanks for this! I installed the Hella kit. I find that the two adjustment screws, which seem to be the only thing holding the bucket to the car. are sort of wobbly. I can't really understand how the lamps stays nice and tight in the buckets. and so hard to adjust. also wish the Hella had the retainer bezel as part of the kit. Mine had broken flanges and had to pop-rivet on some new ones...
Just bought the Hella kit from Summit, at first look it looks like the Hella lamps have some brackets that may interfere with the headlamp bucket. I have not yet pull the old lamps out.
@@runslikeapenguin My Chevy Astro kind of looks like the picture, except for the big Red GMC in the middle of the grill. I bought a GMC cargo van grill and but that on my Astro. Maybe if not shoveling snow in Chicago this week end, I will install the Hella lamps. Thanks
Are the Hella lamp housing glass. I had similar replacements on my Jeep Cherokee and they were riddled with rock holes from gravel flying up off the road.
Hi bud I have a 05 chevy astro awd I replace my blinkers with leds having the same problem with my lights if you can what was the upgrade flasher you use
This is exactly what mine looks like. Well, mine is lifted with 30's, but you get the idea lol www.vehiclehistory.com/evox_compressed/chevrolet/astro/2000/0507/chevrolet-astro-2000-046-0507-640.jpg
