HID's for trans ams?
 
I was wondering where to get some sort of HID's for the trans am, i have the 2000, and its a one piece headlights, so the bulbs can not be replaced.
in this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBel5...eature=channel detox says he searched ebay but i had no such luck, just wondering where i could get something like that

my local high end car accessory store modifies regular bulbs (sealed ones) to accept HIDs. its easy, just carefully pry the bulb out and epoxy the new hid bulbs in. let it set for a few hours and then re-install.

Wow Detoxx your car sure is pretty.

Anyways man you need a sealed beam conversion http://eurolamps.com/eurolamps/sealedbeams.htm , after that you should be able to plug and play any HID kit. However, I bought mine from HidKing on ebaymotors.com and have had 0 problems whats so ever.

Thanks.

OP you are gonna need to go to eurolamps like stated ^ and get the sealed beam conversion kit then you just go from there with your hid kit.

Hmmm sounds like a good idea I might have to try it but I really don't drive that much at night.....

I just a few months ago picked up the sealed beam conversion from eurolamps. I don't have HIDs in them but the bulbs included look great. The lamp housings are good quality. That is what I was concerned with most. Not saying to not do the HID conversion I just haven't gotten there yet. Spent the $ on some UMI stuff instead.

I have the HIDs in eurolamp housings. There's a lot of people that say that you shouldn't do this, it blinds people....blah blah. But I adjusted mine fairly low, I have great visibility and no other cars/cops have hassled me with them

I will be doing this. Our low beams SUUUUUUUCK......

Berto Nov 8, 2009 02:35 PM

Be careful because I am pretty sure HID bulbs are not a big fan of the vibration caused by the movement of the headlights (when you open and close them).

yea I am curious about when the bulb goes or if I want to change it out for something brighter or not. So with the EuroHID does anyone have any pictures of the full kit so we can have a true idea of what is involved because all I ever see is a box with wires and bulbs with wires.

Alright, thnx for the help. is this the correct kit for the fogs? : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON...ht_4746wt_1165

and for the sealed beam conversion, im checking that these are them? and should i go with blue/gold or blue/white to match closest to the fogs http://eurolamps.com/eurolamps/camaro_headlights.htm

Yes, that is the correct ones: 880, however, I would find a dealer on there that sells the Slim Ballasts, as they are not prone for a lot of problems, and mounting them is easier.

The Conversion housings are correct as well, just don't worry about the bulbs that they come with as they are crappy! If you have to choose one I would go with the blue/white.
Heres mine, 8000K in Lows, and 6000K in Fogs:

Check out the Lighting FAQ and do some searching on here. You'll find plenty of info on the subject.

ripgtp97 Nov 30, 2009 10:35 PM

alright thanx for the help i have found everything I needed now.. One really dumb questoin.. any of the kits off ebay, include 2 bulbs 2 ballasts etc. This takes care of driver and passenger side with just one kit correct? haha I just got a trans am from a grand prix and haven't even really looked at the headlights yet since im at school
