HID Conversion for Trans Am Ok. I have seached around the forum and have not been able to find EXACTLY what im looking for. I have a 01 Trans Am and have swapped out my fog lights to HID's. That was easy and I had no problems. The High and Low beams however have a different kind of housing, i think they are called a sealed beam, that does not allow the bulb to come out of the housing, unlike the camaro. Are there any of you guys that are running HID's in your TA's and if so where did you find the proper housings for them?

I just ordered the the Sealed Beam Housing from this company for my 98 WS6. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/bzc/full.aspx?Page=63
The part I ordered was the 36-0302 EURO HEADLIGHT-OUTER-150MM
I just ordered them last night and they should be here by this weekend. It was $84 for 2 of them and I'm buying the high beam ones later. I ordered the HIDs from DDM Tuning last night as well.

If you look less than a half a page down, you'll see two threads about HIDs in T/A's. Technically, the only PROPER housing for HIDs is a projector, however LMC housings are decent as long as you aim them down so you're not blinding everyone. If you want to go projector, then you have the option to retrofit or go with BLS lights. He's a sponsor on here and may have a GP going on at the moment, I'm not sure. Here's his website: http://www.blackbirdlighting.com/98-02.php
If you hear or see anything about Eurolight housings, yes they are an option, but not near as effective as the LMC housings.
If you want to go with a halogen housing, read this thread. It will give you all the information you need: https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...kit-birds.html

Thanks for your reply. I noticed that right after making this post there were other threads but the one that I saw was talking about an ebay thread that the person never installed. I want to do this once and know that the kit will work correctly the first time. Thanks again.

No problem. I have the LMC housings right now, but I am contemplating a retrofit. I just need funds at the moment, though then I'll want to use that for go-fast parts lol. It's a never ending loop
