If this does not work, I'm going to be spending a lot of money to get everything to match. I hate having **** not matching up on my car and doing it half-assed. I want a working light that matches in each light housing.
Looks like I may be buying 3 sets of HID's to get them all to match.
Damn thats gonna be a ton-o-light.

The other option is just buy housings designed for HID bulbs like the 90mm units on this page.

If you have to buy the sealed beam conversion housings anyway, just get the real deals.
Only works for Pontiac people, but here's what it would look like.

But if you're outrunning your light at night, yeah you definitely need to do the high beams!

Just contact the guy and tell him what you drive and he'll refer you the exact ones you'll need off his site. This is the same place I got mine for my 93.

(98+) Buy the eurolamps housings that accept H4 bulbs, buy the HI/LOW bulb, rewire your headlights (should be relatively simple) and hook up your current hi beams to your new HID kit. All your lighting (both hi and low) will come out of your new eurolamps housing that you used to replace your stock low beam housing. It will make the stock housing high beam light/housing redundant and functionless.

98-up are confined to only getting eurolamp housings. When I ordered my housings over a year ago, they did not offer any other bulb size for the housings other than H7s. Has this changed??

I'm still debating on HIDs. I work second shift, so I drive at night at least 5 days a week. But then, it probably will be about $500 to do the high/lows. Well, I guess since my car is in storage I won't really think to much about it right now. I really want them, but I also agreed with myself I wouldn't start to mod my car until it's paid off.
Infinite: for the fog, check out the BlazerTech 3200s... I had'em on my GTX [ SLP'ed Grand Prix GTP ] and, alongwith my 4300K Rising White Hi/Lo HID kit, they matched up quite good!
The BlazerTech 3200s are BRIGHT!!
Finally, great post
and I'll be looking to do this on the TA, as the weather warms up a bit

and I'll be looking to do this on the TA, as the weather warms up a bit I ended up doing alot of research on fog lights when I upgraded mine. The part I didn't like with the fogs people upgraded with was because they are all 4" fogs (stock are 4 1/2"). After alot of research, I found that APC makes a fog that is 4-3/8" and the closest to stock size and that's what I went with. Here's an old thread I had for mine:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...hlight=apc+fog
I dunno, I was just **** about the size of mine for some reason. upgraded fogs make ALL the difference with halogens. My little brother just got new lights and clear corners and SilverStar bulbs for his 98 GTP. I'm trying to get him to upgrade his fogs to the APC ones since his stock ones are old and yellowed.

just for the record, they are very nice. But putting HID bulbs into a housing designed for Halogen bulbs creates a TON of glare. If i ever saw you on the road i'd personally put a hammer through the headlights, however in a show enviroment i'd drool.

OK..
1st. I have the Blazertech 3200 and MY understanding is that they are driving lights NOT fog lites. atleast thats what was writen on my box when I bought them three yrs ago. ??
2nd. with 6pgs worth of reading and following this post everyday I need a little clarity. If I have the eurolamps.com NON-sealed housing conversion kit and buy the, say MTEC 4300k HID conver. kit from JDM here in Japan and put the H7 bulb in my ride will I blind people with glare? I thought I read some one saying that if you buy the kit from Kaixenkits with teh H7 bulb it comes with some sort of reflector. Is that reflector, from that company, going to take away the glare if used in the Eurolamps housing units that I have?
Hope this makes sence because Im confused on all this HID piece to gethered kit talk. why can't a company just sell it all, from the housing units to the wires.
thanks

That is correct, you need non-sealed beam conversion and HID kit and you'll be set. I have not gotten flashed for blinding people in 2 weeks, so I "assume" there's not enough glare to **** people off. BUT, IMHO, if I was to put HIDs in my APC fogs (technically they're really driving lights), then I could definitely see me pissing people off unless you pointed them directly down. Driving lights seem to not have any kind of cutoff like the headlights.
