I don't know why color temps aren't listed on that page as it is for the other kits, but the choices are likely the same as elsewhere:
4500K, 5000K, or 6000K

I have the BLS kit on my Trans Am. You won't regret buying from them if you do any amount of driving at night.

The 1993-1997 Firebird & 1998-2002 Camaro kits use better projectors than the 1993-1997 Camaro kit.
(Not 100% sure if same statement applies to the 1998-2002 Firebird Kit vs the 1993-1997 Camaro kit, but possibly.)
Either way, the projectors in the 1993-1997 Camaro kit are small. Stick with 35watt HID or you will damage them.
The reason for the available projector choices comes down to what can fit and be made into a sealed semi plug-and-play kit.

Default 6le seats

I came up with a set of 6le style seats. I say 'style' because I'm not sure if they're genuine or copies. Are there any distinguishing characteristics that separate the 6Le seats from the others?

Thanks

Shoot me an email mark@6ledesigns.com. We had people buying our brackets thinking they had gotten our seats used then complained they didn't fit (because we do modify them they aren't just ebay seats) we pointed out it was because they weren't our seats lol.

Geez almighty. For that price I would almost rather have the 98-02 headlights modified and put into my 97, looks even more badass I think***

You can probably make your own setup using Hella 60mm or 90mm Halogen Projectors and install a HID kit for $250-$300 + additional parts/wiring to mount them (4 Hella headlights + HID kit for low beam). That is basically what is in the 1998-2002 Firebird kit. Stick with 35watt HID or you'll damage those small projectors.

Or you can get OEM HID parts for a little more and make housings to contain them since OEM parts are not sealed.

You could also install 88-98 C/K Truck Headlights either as they are or mount decent HID projectors in them (if there is space).

Either way, it comes down to what you can make work and your skill level.

Take a look in the Lighting FAQ:

The bar mechanism used makes them too much of a PITA to duplicate...

Can't just use the existing mechanism and just replace the cardboard part?

Got to have a way to finish the edges because of the way the mechanism and rigid part of the visor is encapsulated. That's why you see a stitch on them from an industrial sewing machine. When I rebuild them, I do replace the cardboard part of the visor along with new headlining material, of course. Everything else is re used. I guess this was what you were asking.

Default Cardboard visors explained.

Way back when, vehicles had metal visors. In a crash, that said visor became an excellent, horizontal meat clever. Don't want to go into detail on the outcome of the drivers top portion of the head but, think about it. It's part of the crash safety standards to give and collapse on impact. That's some of the reason for the flimsy crap used in the construction of these visors and most all.Even if you used ABS plastic, it's still rigid enough to peel your face back to the point of wishing you had died. Others are made of foam with heat pressed/molded material around that. Just cannot duplicate that without proper and expensive tooling. Visors In these cars visors have lasted how many years before looking bad? Just have them re done by someone.

I'd like to have a lip spoiler, like the Heritage TA, but with lines that better suit the stock rounded bodies. If nobody makes one and I can't find a Camaro spoiler to modify, I'll try to make one.

Agreed. I would however like to see a good fix for the floppyness caused by worn springs, leading to people getting smacked in the face with the visor when they launch the car.

Maybe something like the AggreSSive spoiler but for the Firebird/TA crowd along the lines of the ASC Twin Turbo Trans Am/Heritage spoiler?
