Most likely it will come with bulbs and ballasts only.
There is no place on that page to select the size/application. My guess is that when you enter the brand/model of vehicle, they'll look it up and send you an equivalent kit to replace the Halogen bulbs in the car's existing headlight housings. Unfortunately, that would exclude the Trans Am since it uses sealed beam headlights. There isn't a separate housing. There are only the sealed beam units. That price they quoted most likely does not include conversion housings which the Trans Am would need. Conversion housings look like sealed beam headlights, but accept a modern halogen bulb (ex: H7, H4, etc). To use an HID kit in your Trans Am, you'll either have to buy conversion housings or convert a set of sealed beam headlights to accept a bulb. Both solutions I would avoid for HID.
Please search for plenty more info on HID and retrofits.
