No problem.. I am the same as you guys in a way. I ask a lot of questions.. it is not fun to waste money on a wrong part or order something and find out a week later there was somehing better for ten bucks. I researched hids a long time before purchasing and I ended yo being extremely pleased with my purchase.
You want to see how in detail I am, check out my latest thread about drag radial fitting my rim. I'll be damned if I'm going to waste 500+$ for something not to work correctly. Took some frustration and a lot of asking but I ended up getting all my questions answered.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4X6-H...item45f661d2a8
Its all i can find, eurolights never got back to me about the 93-97 housings and its been 4 days, if they were a good website, they wouldve got back to me in 4 hours. What do you think?

No halogen housing is hid compatible.. meaning nothing besides projectors is allowed, it not onpy is not recommended but illegal in most states. You * shouldn't have a problem wih it unless you just rjn into one ******* of a cop.

Check aces link at he begenning of his thread for he housings he uses. arent my personal favorite choice but maybe all you got.

Yeah im going to go with those housings. What should i get as far as the bulb type (H4)? I was thinking 8000k lows and 6000k fogs as far as the color, because id like a little bit of a blue tint. Also should i get the harness, eliminator and adaptor option? And i was going to go with 55W for lows and 35W for fogs. Lemme know what you think lemons, and thanks again for all the input. Much appreciated

Anyone ever figure out what housings to use on the 95' Firebird/TA, either from LMC or any other vendor as I'm looking for a quality housing for HIDs.
