Default C6 style headlight for TA's??

Well I think that conversion kit for TA fixed headlights doesn't look so great. So I'm thinking about doing one that is more based off the C6 looks. I would like to have a HID option that would cost the same or less than the current kit out there. What do you guys think??

I've actually been thinkin about it... using dual 90mm hella units (one projector and one high beam)

too bad they don't make this for the firebird








I don't mind the pop up headlights just wish we had better options.

I think this for the 93-97 Camaros would look badass too.

Well my plan is to make what I think is a better looking kit. I'm not a fan of the square headlights in the current available kit. I have no idea on pricing yet but my goal will be to make it no more than the same price with HID's included. I work at a bank in downtown but am looking to open a shop of my own... You meet a lot of great people in banking!! The place by my work that I take care of does short and long production lines of almost anything. I will have them make the casing and the lens. After that I can have the bezel painted any color like matching factory or satin black... Another nice surprise yesterday was my boss saying "how much $$ you need?" so I may have someone to pay for the up front tooling and design! That way all I need is a commitment for X # of orders to begin rather than be like "send me $ then I'll make them". I want to have a finished product to ship out when $ is recieved. I've got other ideas for other products and am open to suggestions.

If things look good for this I may have to do a 93-97 Camaro kit...we'll see.

I'm trying to see what time I'll be off as my manager needs me to do an bus expo in west seattle from 3-7 but apparently I can leave early.

I'm calling Sylvania for the lighting as I would like to run the same set up as the C6. So the center will be the HID projector, inside will be a H9 halogen, and the outer will be a smaller marker light.

Well I met w/ the company that I want to have make the molded bezel, housing, lens, and brackets. Looks like it will be pretty spendy but I am going to meet w/ him again next week after I get detailed pics & measurements. I will keep all updated as I find out more information. Also let me know if you guys have any suggestions or ideas.

Do we really need the marker light since we already have one in the bumper?

I'm actually noticing that a small marker light makes it look a little. Nothing as big as the C6 though.

I don't plan on doing that unless the market wants them. I want the inside to look very similar to the C6. Like even the silver rings around the projector lenses. The marker light will be in the same spot but I would like to do a clear amber lens say the size of a 50 cent piece.

Wish they made that kind of thing for my gen bird.

Been half-messing around with the hella projectors for awhile. The h9's give an amazing light output for what they are.

anyone ever seen the incredible MR Limpet? Old Don Knotts movie. Those headlights remind me of it. A fish w/glasses. They just dont match and look funny. 11second you've got to come up with a better looking kit !
