Talking ***Blackbird Lighting Solutions (BLS) 98+ Firebird Proj. Headlight Retro GP 2011***

***BLS 98+ Firebird Projector Headlight Retrofit – GROUP BUY 2011***

2011 BLS Kit Sale!!

GP GOOD THROUGH January 31st - Spots are limited!


After a successful 2010, we are entering 2011 with a new GP. Get your car ready for the upcoming Spring weather in just a couple of months. We are pleased to offer the most powerful and best performing lighting system for 98+ Firebirds EVER available on the market






Why these outperform other lighting choices on the market today:

These lights feature:
- Optical technology from Hella – (Well known manufacturer of BMW, Mercedes and other headlight components)
- Custom designed mounting system for ease of installation and easy adjustment
- Custom thermoformed impact resistant projector covers
- Custom designed aesthetic hardware covers
- Entirely Plug-N-Play – No cutting, grinding, stripping or permanent modification

Other lighting options:
1) OEM Headlights – Horrendous light output compared to 99% of other new cars produced today.

2) Sealed beam headlight upgrade (Silverstar) – Marginally better than OEM with slightly better color however light output is still very poor.

3) Sealed Beam Conversion – Allows for more lamp options and typically used with coated halogen bulbs producing better but not ground breaking results. Light output sometimes can be worse depending upon the lamp chosen and the coating on the aftermarket lamp.

4) E-Code Conversion Housings – A costly conversion for “better” conversion housings but still lacking the focus and performance of a projector.

5) Sealed Beam Conversion w/ HID Kit – This has been the popular upgrade with the 98+ Firebirds. While it offers color and, perceivably, the light output they want; the light patterns are very uncontrolled. Many have commented on the beam patterns with these kinds of setups and the light output can be sometimes dangerous for other drivers. Many questions regarding blinding other drivers requires the recommendation to "lower them down" reducing the effectiveness of the headlight system to begin with.

6) Fixed Headlight Conversion – Certainly the most expensive option ($1K+) with questionable performance, fitment and love it or hate it styling. The low beam uses a DOT approved non-projector housing which will not have the performance of a quality projector.

The BLS Kit Difference:

The color everyone wants – 5000K 55W Kit Pictured

Light intensity





Low Beam Cutoff – Low on the driver side to not blind oncoming drivers, high on the right to give you farther distance.



Light Output at 50’ – Width and light intensity are like night and day



Light output at 30’ with High/Low Beams On – Light spread is more pronounced the farther away you are but nothing will hide from these while they are on.



Installation:
An installation CD will be packaged with each kit and if you can install a new headlamp in your car, this will not be much harder. Simple hand tools are the only requirement and will be outlined in the instruction manual so you have just what you need. Tolerances are very tight on these vehicles in the headlight area however these were designed to fit perfectly. The second picture shows that there is plenty of clearance with the front bumper since it appears closer than it really is in the first picture.

Lens to bumper clearance:





Adjustment:
To adjust the lights, it requires no extra work than how you already adjust your factory headlights. Adjusters can be accessed in the same positions as the factory points so no shroud cutting or disassembly is required to adjust the projectors.



Aesthetics:

Is there any special pricing if I wanted the high beams only (since I already have the low beams)?

Free bump, just cause every time I get in my car and turn the headlights on, I think "Damn, these headlights are great!"

That, and these are way safer than blinding other people with cheap eBay/Eurolamps style conversion housings.

Going to be a little while before I tackle the 98-02 Camaros. We are working on completing the 93-97 Camaro kit at this time.

your retrofit conversions are very nice and i hope you sell a lot, but could you please stop buying up all the freaking hella 60mm modules? It'd be great if I could get my hands on some so I can finish a retrofit for another vehicle I own. They've been on backorder from multiple suppliers for weeks now

LOL. I hear ya but honestly Hella simply needs to produce and ship more of these things. We have badgered our suppliers quite a bit to let Hella know the market simply needs more of these in the US.

Hope you get your projectors soon and good luck with your retrofit.
