I went with both the low and high LMC housings. Super quality compared to my old "kit".

I installed these babies a few days ago, the cut off is amazing, a big part of that is due to the bulb cover/reflector inside the housing, and very nice quality.

Along with a DDM HID kit, it's plug and play, i have 6000k fogs as well, here's a video of the low beams only, vid quality is so so but you can see the cut off is decent.

If you ask me, these LMC housings should be a sticky. lol

I Just did the lmc housings with the bulb covers and ddm 5k 35 watt conversion. My cutoff doesn't seem as good as yalls, kinda looks like two v's... Am I doing something wrong or is that normal.

I was also wondering what you guys thought about tinting or painting the top few inches of the housing, kind of like sleepy eyes. The reason I ask is when I hold my hand over the top half of the housing it seems to cut down on alot of my cutoff "bleed through" that might blind other drivers, just wondering if anyones tried it or has thougts.. Otherwise I love the kit I can finally see!

If I'm not mistaken lt1s only have two housings not 4, so you would need a combo hi/lo hid, ddm has them they are a little more. I'm not sure about your housing...

With as many options as there are, and with all of the hype they have been generating, a sticky would be a good a great idea. I don't think the average person on this board with a 1998+ Firebird has any idea what kind of possibilities exist for them. A sticky is a great idea.

i put all four ballast without a problem... i put the ballast for the fogs on the plastic piece that is in back of the wiper washer tank .. i just zip tied em ... for the lows i put them on the side of the frame you have to have the headlights popped up to put them in
