Description:
Looking for the Blackbird Lighting Solutions (BLS) Kit. Used or new, any kit. They don't make them anymore. Will pay anything. I'm not interested in piecing together my own kit, too complicated for me.

Not for 98-02 Firebirds (at least). The site is just outdated. I've been emailing with Brian and for the past year now he's said they're working on a new LED kit as the old projector is now discontinued. He's a tough guy to get a hold of, and I get the sense it's going to be a long, long time before the new kit is offered (if ever).

look up late model lighting. I bought their low beam LED kit for my 01 TA but havent had time to install it. Looks very high quality. Guy on youtube put me on to them, in his video he shows some good before and after footage. They claim its a direct fit for the 98-02 firebird, I suppose Ill find out in the next few weeks if they really are a direct fit or not.

Yeah I saw those but I’ve done a lot of reading around here and lots of people say to never put LED’s in halogen housings. I think because you blind other drivers and the cut off is bad.

I installed the late model lighting LED in my 02 firebird. Performs very well. Installation with the provided bulbs was a nightmare. I am uploading a youtube video as I type this that shows how to fix the issues. Once you get the correct bulb versus the one they give you, the kit works very well. However at about $200, it isnt cheap. I will be attempting a cheaper, yet very similar custom made LED setup on my other F-car in the future. But I will say this....LED's are the way to go for better visibility at night.

The whole ordeal cost me a smidge over $200 when it was all said and done.
The idea is very good and the performance is great. I just think for the money late model lighting charges, it should be closer to plug and play than the experience I had with it. I will be trying a similar, but hopefully less invasive and cheaper setup in my other firebird later this year.

You can buy the brackets on ebay and the projectors on amazon (and other places).

Here is the link to my review/install video of the LEDs into my firebird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1i_-ZVPXQ4

A few years back I did what @VIP1 suggests and got the brackets, projectors and an HID kit and have been pleased!

He is still in business but just not currently doing the 98-02 f car kits. I just recently purchased some stuff from him. Very good customer service from him. Unfortunately I’m having issues on my end with a few things but communication and support after the sale has been great from BLS.
