Default Trans Am Lights

I'm sure most of you, if not all of you can vouge that the factory headlights on the Firebird's are TERRIBLE. I am thinking about doing away with these trashy lights and doing either an HID or just a MUCH better projector. Any ideas, recommendations, or pictures of what you've done would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Believe it's blackbird that has the direct bolt in projector housings. If money isn't an option, go for those. Back when I did mine, these weren't an option yet, so I opted for the Euro housings since they're an open housing and just bought a HID Xentech kit and aimed them accordingly. I had heard bad news about the aftermarket housings and was looking for one that wouldn't leak, which is why I went for a production piece. At any rate, good luck.

Do you know if any other kits that are of decent quality but a bit cheaper?

BLS's is the only option unless you make your own.

The LMC truck housings are nice. That's what I have with some luminics hyper white bulbs. Don't do HID's unless you want to do them right and figure out a way to get some projectors inside the housings. HID's without projectors look cool, but in my opinion are borederline dangerous because it's hard to aim them properly and light output is kind of crappy. I'm trying to figure out what projectors will fit, but I can't find any small enough lol.

You have a few popular options. One has been posted which includes conversion reflector housings using HIDs. The other is a true projector retrofit which we offer. Our kits are completely plug-n-play and the light output speaks for itself.

Based on your budget, I would compare the output and performance and decide which is right for you. Feel free to search this forum for additional pictures of the BLS kits and our feedback.
