tinted head lights...
very nice lookin car bro!
GO with 6k HID. Just got some on my Camaro & love them. They are more of a brighter white then blue (which I prefer) Heres some comparisons that helped me make up my mind.
hope this helps! & I would of just got black headlights instead of tinting them? But that's just me

hmmm. were you meaning to put that here https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...owls-come.html ?
Trust me, I think it looks cool, hell, that's one of the cool aspects of the firebirds. But I look at headlights as a safety item, and the last thing I would want to do is diminish their ability in the name of appearance.
Would you remove your brakes to make it look cooler?
Nope. It's just that this made me scratch my head and ask, "what did you think was going to happen when you painted over your headlights".

and driveability was ****.haha jk. oh and to the person that said 6000k is brightest... no. as far as HID's go it's one of the "dimmest" COMMON colors used. Lower kelvins = brighter light.
You're preaching to deaf ears on the color of the lights. It's one thing I don't get with 90% of the people on this board, they want blue tinted headlights. If you're trying to make your car look expensive, Honda Ricer blue lights aren't going to do it. Show me a factory HID light in any car that has any blue in it and I'll call BS. Factory lights are 4300k, which is the brightest light, and doesn't cause glare like the rest of the lights do.

but with the tinted headlight, while you do lose some visibility, you still have enough light to drive around at night just fine. its just not what you're used to having.
oh damn, i just caught the analogy. i get what you're saying now. when i read that i had just read that other thread a few minutes earlier so it seemed to fit perfectly.

I had a similar quarrel with the bottom part of the lens when doing the whistler mod. I sanded down all the texture and used black vinyl... turned out nice. The shitty thing is that I had one all put back together before I realized how ugly the bottom was, so I took everything apart, added vinyl, and re-sealed it. What a PITA it was. Now I am wanting to replace my lenses because no matter how many times they get polished, sanded, etc. they just don't look as good as some new ones.
Sorry for this off-topic rant...

i'm just gonna get another set of cheap halo lights, and pull them apart to whistler them. that way i get a brand new set of lenses, so they'll really look good.
you still at smc? havent seen the Z28 around this semester.
What hood is that, size and name?

I bought some 8500k back about 3 years ago from somebody on ebay...and they work great. I wouldn't go any higher, maybe lower, but they work 100X better than OEM headlights. I had them in my 2001 SS, then in a 2000 Jimmy and now I have them in my wife's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and they work SOOOO much better than her stock headlights. Maybe I got lucky, but mine work great and always have. I don't suggest going any higher, only because the light output isn't worth it. There's a ford fusion riding around here with PURPLE Hids in the headlights and fog lights...looks terrible. I'm buying another camaro in a week and i'll put my 8500k back in and might buy some 3500k or 5000k for the fogs. We'll see though.
