Default 1997 Firebird Formula...Headlights...

Hey everyone...

I've been wondering for quite sometime now, looking for a pretty decent amount of time, wondering if there's any headlight 'mods' for a 1993-1997 Gen firebird? (flipups). I've seen different bulbs you can use to make them look like knockoff Xenons...seen people actually get the front setup off of a 98+ Firebrid and slap it on their 97...but I'm just wondering of any "mods" anyone has ever heard / done to their headlights?

I mean, dont get me wrong, I love my headlights, absolutley love my flipups just wondering of any modifications that anyone has heard / seen?

Thanks!

/brian

I havent seen any expect for the brass gear mod.
I have always wanted someone to make a fixed headlight kit for the firebirds, I would just like to see what they might look like.
I saw a C4 with a fixed headlight kit, it was freaking bad looking.

Didn't the '97 Firehawks come with fixed headlights? I thought I saw one in Car and Driver years ago. Could be mistaken though.

No in 98 there were a couple that had fixed lamps, how many made production, very few to none would be my guess. the 98+ cars were supose to all get fixed head lamps, but GM scarpped that and kept pop ups.
