All those headlights are are the SS/SC headlights . For those that dont know , all the SS/SC's headlights used a chrome bezel thats tinted slightly . All other models including the N/A SS use the bright chrome headlights .

I remember hearing about this but I thought the part numbers were the same.

Does anybody have a side by side comparison between the SS/SC dark lamps and the Base chrome lamps?

yeah i noticed that after i painted my headlights they were slightly darker then the red on the car yet they were a perfect match before i put the covers back on.

Why don't we ask Tom at Crate Engine Depot to pull out a set and tell us what the difference is?

I can confirm it. I bought the second set of lights to paint and the clear cover is slightly tinted on the SS/SC lights.

I never took pics and it would be hard to tell now since the one set is blue and the other chrome inside...
