Default Headlight conversion

What do y'all think about these? Think they would be worth it or look good? Never seen these before and am curious as I was looking for a conversion to buy.

Hey Kyle, I've never see them before.

If you do it, post up some pics and let us know how it went.

This listing shows H4656/H4651. These are what would come on late 2nd gen Birds for example. Fourth gen Firebirds take H4703/H4701, which are smaller bulbs/housings.

I searched around and sure enough they won't fit unless you do some modifications. Looks like I will be going with the ones on the lmc website unless anyone has better suggestions.

From What I see,
A 93-97 uses a H6454 and is 100 mm x 165 mm or ~4" x ~6.5"
a 98-02 uses a H4703 and is 92 mm x 150 mm or ~3.5" x ~6"

And I am willing to be that the eBay page linked to will say they don't fit because it is a set of 4.

UPDATE
Here is a link to a 4x6" set of 2 that is the same thing as the OP's link and is listed as fitting 93-97, only difference is it is a set of 2 not 4.

My old 97 used to use a single bigger bulb and not the dual ones like the 98-02. So they are too big.

I bought my headlight kit from hawks. Comes with new lowbeam bulbs and housings and fog light bulbs, ballasts included. No need for high beams as the lows are plenty bright
