Headlight conversion? what do you think? hey i was looking at that headlight conversion kit that makes them non pop ups and i think it looks pretty bad but ive heard that theres problems with them and they dont shine as well and all kinds of things, so i also saw the HID conversion kit that just switches these stock halogen with a HID kit bulb (harnesses and all) so i need some opinions on what you all think should be done, FULL HEADLIGHT CONVERSION 1,100 Full Bulb Conversion 7-800

Like most others here, I am totally against the FLUSH (Breathless) mount type...You gotta keep the pop-up lights..thats like sigunature for our cars.
I have done enough research (before i started my custom Bi-xenon HID conversion project) to tell you that those aftermarket kits using HID bulbs in the reflector type housing is the WORST thing you can have.... i can sent you tons of pictures that shows horrible glare from those kits..its functional but never preferred by the oncoming traffic drivers...
IMHO:
1. You can buy replacement housing from Euro#$%# that uses H4 blue xenon bulbs and keep it simple (Cost about $80)
2. you can do your own custom LOW-BEAM HID Projector setup like "01RedT/A" has done (HE HAS DONE GREAT JOB):

3. You can go step further and use Bi-Xenon HID Projector (High-low beam in same projector) and do completely different setup something like i am currently working on...here:

We are working on this project to bring it in market as KIT. Keep watching that thread for more info..
If you need any information on HID, just drop me a line, I will try to explain/answer any of you queries.
Hope this helps and good luck

WEll..I have them on my car and the quality is a step below horse ****! HOWEVER...I do love them now as they make my car stand out and either people love them or hate them. I have removed the shitty cheap plastic covers , filled in holes, remolded them and added an HID kit.
Pretty happy with them now.

Kinda like there is only about 1 in a 100 SS's that I like.
I agree with all the others on keeping the stock flip-ups, its not like I dont like the flush mounted lights I just prefer the flip-ups the best. IMO $1k for a few small parts is no where near worth it. But I do like them because they stand out from all the crowd. Nice car LOHRTBT.

well i agree with pop ups, at first i didnt like them but now ive grown to love them considering the car thats repping them you know? but how bout the replacement HID kits for the stock sylvania bulbs, horse **** or go for it?
LOHRTBT, real nice car.. I really dig those wheels.
I think the headlights are kinda neat.. different and a more updated look.
but... IMO.. I could find a better use for 1g. just my .02.
