* Those are not projectors. Its just a hunk of glass put in there to fool people. The output is crap.
* Also, the 4703 is smaller than 4x6 housings so those won't fit anyway. That listing is wrong.
* And to top it off, you can find those on Amazon and other places for less money.
* The bulbs they come with are cheap blue-coated bulbs too.
* 4703 is low-beam only, not low/high like that H4 bulb.

That's 5-strikes (and big ones at that).

Glad I asked first. Do any housings with real projectors exist that fit these cars?

Yes, Blackbird Lighting Solutions. He is a member sponsor on here as well. http://www.blackbirdlighting.com/

Everyone that gets them loves them. Im saving up for their bi-xenon kit as we speak.

I could probably just get the low/high kit and run cheap housings for the original high beams.

You can buy the brackets and projectors separately cheaper if you look around.

Look in the Lighting FAQ for what others have done:

Maybe check TRS' closeouts for B-stock projectors and stuff one into a housing. I'm not totally sure if those typical square housings on Firebirds will fit a Mini H1? Most people I see use bracket style.

the retrofit source recently came up with projector kits called JW SPEAKER 8800 HEADLIGHTS (4X6) but its $516 for a set. My advice is to go with BLS to get the knowledge/expertise with the product.
