Not too much available for the firebirds (T/A's included) that are less than 500-600. Some people have gone and switch out the housings in order to accept other lights. You can find that kit on www.autooptiks.com I think.

There are some Non-Popup headlight kits available but they cost $1000 and are not HID. RKSport had a kit, but I am not sure if they still have it. You can also convert the Popup headlights to HID. There are a few ways to do this. The easiest is to get a conversion housing that fits in the stock headlights location. You can find it at http://www.autooptiks.com/front.htm (as stated by The Alchemist). If I remeber correctly, low beam is 4703 and high beam is 4701. The housing will allow you to use more modern headlight bulbs like the Camaro instead of sealed beam headlights like the Firebird. At this point you can get Halogen bulbs or rebased HIDs and ballasts to put in the housing. Although this is possible, it wont produce the best beam pattern for HID.

If you do a search on this topic you'll find many posts by people more knowledgeable than myself.

Here are some links to get you started:

Personally, I dont like the look of the non-popup units. Plus they are expensive ($1000). I think the best approach is to use the conversion housings fitted with HID bulbs and ballasts.
