I've been wanting to go HID w/ mine. I changed the foglamps to 'blazertech' or whatever they call them. They are brighter, whiter... I dunno, it works for now LOL

Do a search in "Apearance & Detailing", you'll find plenty of information.

A cheaper alternative to a fully custom setup is to get converson buckets that allow the use of the new style small bulbs like the Camaro.

I went with a Xenon with the bright blue and is allot brighter. There are various sites for mods to the headlights. Since i enjoy the flip up lights I went with an after market type that swapped only the old style with a hollow one to insert an Xenon or other.

I do not have the link for the place I used. I would have to do some searching. But, the ones I have I am happy with.
