I was debating doing this with my projector mod. Here's the level I like them at:





EDIT: Google got me here and just realized it's the LT tech section.. Oh well lol.

Ya know, call me a ricer but I think that silver trans am looks good like that. Idk how that would look on a LT1 style bird tho....

And threehonks, you said you don't like pop up lights. They do sell a kit to do away with the pop up lights. It doesnt look bad imo. Kinda pricey but it seems simple enough that someone could fab something up rather easily.

Get the "c6 lights" mod.. Dunno what its actually called but ive seen setups like on the c6....

I looked into doing this, and it's on my eventual To-Do list. Essentially you need to create a new arm/linkage for the motor to headlight frame. Then adjust the length of the pivot point to get the height you want. The real challenge is finding/making the headlight assembly work on a LT1 car due to the singe headlight.

When you do the lazy-eye, you loose a lot of room. I was looking at a Bi-Xenon Projector with a smaller Driving light next to it; and it was going to require some significant fabrication to fit and function properly. (IE: radically cutting/rebuilding the headlight frame, possibly notching the core-support, vacuum-forming a lens for in front of the projector.)

I believe someone on CZ28.com did built a set similar to what I have planned, I don't know if he ever got them finished though.

I have yet to see 1 LTx Firebird with non-popups... AFAIK they were never made. If you look at the vertical distance the headlights have, it would never work unless you light was ~ 1" tall. You'd have to do a really FUGLY bump upwards to be able to get any decent light out of it.

I have seen 1 LT1 TA with the non-pop up headlight conversion here in Charlotte. It looks a hell of a lot better than "lazy eye" conversion or whatever. Certainly not worth over $1000 though: http://www.youngsfbody.com/inc/sdetail/2260/51669

You sir are wrong. They make the kit. It is upwards of 700$ which is why you've probably never seen it. And thats the reason I didn't buy it back when I had my formy. Just because you don't know about it doesnt make it a lie.

Mississippi

Damn, beat me to it. haha. It looks damn good, but not 1k good.

LOL beat you to it...you're right...except not $700...try $1090

Like I said.. AFAIK... (AS FAR AS I KNOW; smartasses)

And also looking at that from a lighting standpoint, it looks like there's about 1/2 the bulb above the bumper so the light output would be horrid.

I know this isn't what everyone is specifically talking about but we offer a true plug and play bixenon projector headlight retrofit for 93-97 Firebird. It's not cheap but there is nothing on the market that performs nearly as well.
