Default Custom 98-02 Trans Am Headlights

I saw this 1998 Firebird Formula on eBay a couple years ago. I have always liked these headlights but I don't really care for the larger bulbs in the license plate filler. I'm thinking of making a set for my car, just curious what everyone else thinks! Anyone know who made them???

breathlessperformance makes them and they are over 1000 bucks and have a square light isntead of those 2 ovals, that kit was either a modified version of the breathless kit or flat out custom. most people dislike the breathless one because they ahve leaking problems and the lights really arent that bright, or as bright as they should be for over a grand

I really don't like the way those look. They're very subtle with almost no dimension, and in no way support the front-end aggressiveness of a Bird. I really do appreciate custom work, but that is a step in the wrong direction IMO.

i think youre both retarded. Just cause you want fixed headlights doesnt mean you want the rest of the camaro. And maybe he just wants to customize his car a little more. What do you say to people with c5s? do you tell them to buy a camaro too?

I'm getting sick of how many people with f-bodys say that their car is "customized" and don't have a single "custom" part on their car. I have been searching through the threads here and it seems every custom part that people make is tagged RICE or Some of the stuff I've seen has looked pretty bad but I like it because it gets the gears turning in my head on ways to customize my car. Too many people with the same parts on this forum......BORING! I am starting to realize that creative people in this forum are few and far between. If you think the Camaro looks better than the Trans Am then I really dont care for your opinion on this thread. I really only want to hear from Trans Am owners.

WOW these headlights are killers, i really like the style of this Formula.
I looks kins of European class but still the brutal American muscle car look. **** i'm in love. Thanks for sharing Andrews!!
And i really agree with your opinion, as soon as someone do something different it gets the rice stamp:-(
If you find some more info of these LMK!

I have seen a set of fixed headlights on a T/A that i loved. My buddy greg had them on his silver WS6 and it looked awesome. But thats about the only set I ever liked.

The lights remind me of the ones on the race car corvettes. They have those big lights in the front and the pop up lights fixed like that (might be all clear though?) The corvette looked cool, but that car looks bad...very bad...

THose appear to be modded Breathless ones. I was gonna mod mine to have 2 square ones rather than one of each. but its just not worth it. The kit sux and it would cost lots of money to make it look right. I give them credit for making them actually fit nice though lol.
