  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      If you have the cargo front like in this video, they will fit.

      @@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

    Have the LED bulbs and housing lasted since you made the vid in 2021? what LED bulbs would you recommend? Thanks for the quality video and narration!

    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...

    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.

      This one is the base cargo van. My 97 is set up the same way.

      You should already have H4 housing if they are not he sealed beams
