Default Initial test fit new HID (BLS) setup (96 WS6), PICS

Finally got my hands on the new 93-97 BLS HID system. This kit is pretty amazing, top notch components and build. I just wanted to post a quick couple pics of my progress. Started on the passenger side first and test fit the frame and projector. Unit sits in the factory bucket like a glove. I ran into a little problem of my own, originally had a german H4 setup and I will be switching out to a 55watt, 5000k, D2S system. So, no night shots of the cut-off yet I also want to point out that this kit is extremely user friendly. It took me longer to take everything apart than it did to fit the unit in the bucket. Any of the LT1 firebird guys that are on the fence about spending the money, do it! You will be very happy with the final product. I will start another thread when I'm close to finished and properly review the nuts and bolts of the new BLS LT1 firebird HID system!!!

Thanks Brian !

projectors are the FX-R's





and a side shot just cause I like it

Nice my friend, very nice. I have been eying this kit since he released them. Just waiting on the cash to upgrade mine. I'm tired of replacing these damn cheapo Silverstar's from Pepboys, lol.

Hit me up man, havent talked to you in a minute. I still havent hooked up the new reciever at home I got from you, LOL.

UPDATE:

Here are some additional shots of the work today. I installed the drivers side and tested all the alignment, everything looks great. Started installing the lens covers into my 4x6 metal trim rings. I'm taking my time with the bead of sealant on the lens covers and I will probably let them cure for 24 hours before I try to install the covers. I don't know that you need to do this with each unit, just taking the extra time so I only have to do it once

Here you go:

Another quick update:

I installed the lens and trim ring today. Everything went pretty smooth, once again, letting the permatex cure for almost 48 hours is severe overkill. I would say 1 hour of letting it setup and another hour or two for good measure and your ready to go. I'm suppose to get the 55 watt D2S kit on saturday. If so, I will try to finish the wiring and install the new ballasts and take some night shots.





Another side shot for fun....

All in good time , I know your going through a rough time, but hang in there with the LTx


Slash8915,
So far, I like the complete fit and finish of the kit. If your considering a purchase for your car, I would definitely give BLS your lighting business. Brian's kit is very nice in every aspect, professional OEM quality in my opinion. I have not been able to try out the lighting portion, still waiting on my 55watt kit ordered separately from DDM. It's suppose to be here today, but we will see ? If the kit comes in today or tomorrow I plan on installing it this week with night shots on Sunday

Update: Just a quick pic of the cutoff down both sides of the row. I have not had a chance to do the adjustment left or right / up or down, but the lighting is simply amazing at night ! I'm going to try and finish the final shots on Sunday night, (hopefully).

I wanted to post completed pics this weekend, but the weather keeps playing games. So, I decided to just pull the car out and use the garage door to give everybody an idea of how sharp the cut-off line is on the FX-R projectors. I have not adjusted the lighting up/down or left/right, but it appears to be fairly close to right settings. I will do all the aiming by next weekend and finish the final shots and review, stay tuned

Enjoy the teaser.....
