***Blackbird Lighting Solutions (BLS) 98+ Firebird Proj. Headlight Fall GP*** ***BLS 98+ Firebird Projector Headlight Retrofit Fall 2011 GROUP BUY***
2011 Fall BLS Kit Sale!!
2011 Fall BLS Kit Sale!!
GP GOOD THROUGH October 10th - Spots are limited!
We are pleased to offer the most powerful and best performing lighting system for 98+ Firebirds EVER available on the market
Why these outperform other lighting choices on the market today:
These lights feature:
- Optical technology from Hella (Well known manufacturer of BMW, Mercedes and other headlight components)
- Custom designed mounting system for ease of installation and easy adjustment
- Custom thermoformed impact resistant projector covers
- Custom designed aesthetic hardware covers
- Entirely Plug-N-Play No cutting, grinding, stripping or permanent modification
Other lighting options:
1) OEM Headlights Horrendous light output compared to 99% of other new cars produced today.
2) Sealed beam headlight upgrade (Silverstar) Marginally better than OEM with slightly better color however light output is still very poor.
3) Sealed Beam Conversion Allows for more lamp options and typically used with coated halogen bulbs producing better but not ground breaking results. Light output sometimes can be worse depending upon the lamp chosen and the coating on the aftermarket lamp.
4) E-Code Conversion Housings A costly conversion for better conversion housings but still lacking the focus and performance of a projector.
5) Sealed Beam Conversion w/ HID Kit This has been the popular upgrade with the 98+ Firebirds. While it offers color and, perceivably, the light output they want; the light patterns are very uncontrolled. Many have commented on the beam patterns with these kinds of setups and the light output can be sometimes dangerous for other drivers. Many questions regarding blinding other drivers requires the recommendation to "lower them down" reducing the effectiveness of the headlight system to begin with.
6) Fixed Headlight Conversion Certainly the most expensive option ($1K+) with questionable performance, fitment and love it or hate it styling. The low beam uses a DOT approved non-projector housing which will not have the performance of a quality projector.
The BLS Kit Difference:
The color everyone wants 5000K 55W Kit Pictured
Light intensity
Low Beam Cutoff Low on the driver side to not blind oncoming drivers, high on the right to give you farther distance.
Light Output at 50 Width and light intensity are like night and day
Light output at 30 with High/Low Beams On Light spread is more pronounced the farther away you are but nothing will hide from these while they are on.
Installation:
Installation instructions will be emailed for each kit upon shipment and if you can install a new headlamp in your car, this will not be much harder. Simple hand tools are the only requirement and will be outlined in the instruction manual so you have just what you need. Tolerances are very tight on these vehicles in the headlight area however these were designed to fit perfectly. The second picture shows that there is plenty of clearance with the front bumper since it appears closer than it really is in the first picture.
Lens to bumper clearance:
Adjustment:
To adjust the lights, it requires no extra work than how you already adjust your factory headlights. Adjusters can be accessed in the same positions as the factory points so no shroud cutting or disassembly is required to adjust the projectors.
Aesthetics:

I got my low beam kit over the summer and it's one of the easiest and best upgrades I've done on my car. I don't often get to enjoy the aesthetics of the housing, but I definitely enjoy and appreciate the functionality of the enhanced light pattern and visibility. I have the 4500K kit.

Couldnt agree more Qcon. Ive put alot of money into my old Camaro and my WS6 and I would say its one of my favorite if not my favorite mod Ive done. These lights really modernize these cars and you wont realize how shitty the stock sealed beams are until you have this kit!
