I don't think it's that great hence the reason I want to get better housings. I'll try to take some pics tonight against the garage so I can post. I'm not getting flashed and the 10+ people I've asked about my headlights (me following, coming head on, etc.) claim they don't have any problems with glare. But I just want the best stock-looking lights possible. I've though about projectors myself, but just look kinda silly unless you re-molded the plastic piece that fits around them to fit the projectors. I think the rallylights.com would be the way to go, but if you're just wanting WAY better light output and save some $$ on HIDs and housings, then my setup is the way to go. I'll post some pics soon of mine against the wall.

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention to this thread. Anyway, I think you have the LT1 camaro sealed beams. You could add some HID bulbs just like some people add Silverstars to their sealed beams. I modded my housings just like in this thread and added Silverstars. I'm sure you can do the same.

You will have to do some research to find out what aftermarket bulb you need that will put the light source in the same position as the stock bulbs. If the light source is too deep or too shallow it will not focus the light properly.

Shouldn't they be a little more spread out with the low beams? I mean thats just me. Kinda bugs me when they'r aimed at one spot on the ground 25 feet away.

The digital camera makes them not as spread out as they really area. Don't get me wrong, they are more focused in front of the car but they do spread out alot more than what the pictures appear.

Question Xenon bulb uprage kit

Hello Infinite reality,
Read your thread about installing the 8000K HID in your TA. Good write up. Can you explain the difference in the Dual Beam and Bi-xenon kits? I've been unable to locate any information on these kits. I've been researching the available kits and EuroLamps offer housings. Does the Eurolamp housing make a significant difference over using a halogen bulb housing w/ a Xenon bulb? Can you provide the supplier of the system for the 8000K kit as well. How does does the lowbeams w/ Xenon bulbs look compared to stock or upgraded Halogens? Are you using a Xenon bulb in the stock fog light housing or a projecter bulb such as offered by PIAA? What is the main difference from the Euro light kit and the one you have installed? Thank you for your time and assistance. Are these conversion kits street legal? Have you encountered any flak from law enforcement agencies or when getting the car inspected?

Thanks! I assume dual beam are regular halogens with 2 filaments (hi/low) where as the Bi-Xenon is dual HIDs and you can retain your hi/low. On our 98-02 firebirds, it won't matter because we have seperate housings for our hi/low beams.
Eurolamps housings are definitely better than the stock sealed. Now I don't think they're the best when it comes with HIDs. If I was do to mine all over again, I'd go with some Bosche housings. They came out after I got mine, so I couldn't get them. But from what I've read they have a very nice cutoff.
I got my HIDs from fashtek. I also have a 6000K kit for my busa from them as well. IMO I like the 6000K better than the 8000K.
For my fog lights, instead of dropping another $234 on HID fogs, I choose to go with yellow bulbs from here:
autolumination.com

Any modification to any lighting on a vehicle is illegal, those I can say I've had no problems with mine.

Thanxs for the info. Is there a way to have an email notification or a notification alert when we log on to so that there's been a response to a thread. May need to spend some time in the FAQs when I can slow down at work. Thanks again, Dave

All OEM cars that have high and low beam HID use a movable shield to change the beam pattern. You do not want to have seperate HID hi beams as they take a minute or two to warm up and are under a lot of stress during this ignition phase.

Did you also get HID's for the high beems? How much brighter are they compared to stock? One more... are their bulbs that can be found that will match the color of HID's for the fog lights?

I read over this 9-page deal and i too have euro lights housings with a 6000k setup i luv it it has great light output, way better than the silver-star's I was running a long time ago, though my car stay's in the garage and usually is a weekend driver, i too have wondered about the glare issue. I after looking at all this, was curious and been thinking about buying the h4 bulbs and modding my euro h7 housings to fit the h4 bulbs that way i have the cutoff in the conversion beam setup all in one thing. InfiniteReality what do you think????? by the way ddi your tag light mod on my camaro i luv it gonna do it to my bird sometime when i get a chance.....

Just have HIDs for the lows. I doubt you'll find any fog bulbs that will perfectly match real HIDs. I choose to use Yellow Ion bulbs for my fogs, similar to Lexus setup. Something different, people know when I'm coming down the road.

Personally i'd get this:
rallylights 150mm

then H4 capsules.. These housings will rock eurolamps... If it wasn't for the fact I'd have to drop $100 for new capsules, I'd done it when they came out a few months ago... If I ever have problems with cops, I'll definitely consider it...
