Default Non Popup Light Option

I tried the search.....

What non pop up headlight options are there for either ls1 or lt1 firebirds....

It's not for comestic reasons i don't care if they don't seal well or fog up.

Class the car is running in has to retain working headlights and can no longer mount the motors to the the modified core support.

Thanks guys.

Breathless Performance
It's expensive ($1,000) if all you want is better light then try a sealed beam conversion kit.

Exactly....

reason i don't just want them popped up is because when you are trying to be competitive in a class that running in the 165-169mph range you want all the aerodynamic help that you can.

No front bumper supports/fog light brakets and there is a 95mm turbo that lives in the front bumper.
