Default Trans-Am/Firebird fixed headlights

Ive seen some posts where guys are asking if anyone still made fixed headlights for Firebirds. Well I found that Breathless Performance offers them. They also do c4 and c5 vettes. Hope this helps.

Yeah that's the same company that's always made them... $1000 for ugly headlights is rediculous IMO. I love the look of that black LT1 TA with those lights though.


I haven't seen any of the LS1 Birds with those lights where the black has been color matched to the paint (pewter car pewter headlight backing) like in C6's. That might look good.. I've heard the quality on these things aren't so great, and for $1000 I'd hope they would be...

^I agree. Actually, it would be a bit better if more of the clear plastic were painted to match the car...just to cut down on all that clear plastic-looking lens

The C5 lights look alright... on dark colored cars, but for $1400? Um.. pass.

I'm so over the pop-ups and would love to get that C6 look, but they weren't worth it @ $1000, not any more worth it @ $1100.

If those guys had a brain in their heads, they would've lowered the price to $499 or even $599 and sold four times as many, versus selling "dozens" at $1000.

I dont really like those headlights, it looks like the birds wearing glasses. I love those 4 port extractor hoods they look SICK if I ever get another hood thats the one I'm gonna get!
