Look in the "Lighting FAQ".
Its in the "Hall of Fame" sticky and in my sig.
Here is a link for convenience:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/710357-lighting-faq.html

The only setups that I've been able to find are custom. Take a look at that FAQ and you'll see some setups that require less modification than others.

Here is what mine looks like:

Here is SCRWS6's setup:

You'll find more like those in the Lighting FAQ. Unfortunately, there isn't anything that is plug-and-play. If you find anything, let me know and I'll add it to the FAQ.

Will those ones there fit on a 98-02 TA? I'm very interested in those.

Those ebay ones will not fit 1998-2002 Firebird and they aren't real projectors anyway. They are just a crappy housing with a hunk of glass in front of the bulb. If I remember correctly, there isn't even a cut-off shield on them.

There was a thread a while back talking about actual projector retrofit housings. Unfortunately, they were not in the 1998-2002 Firebird size and they were $1000 for a pair.
