I was looking at different headlights and most led or hid are hard to fit into the firebirds thanks to the flip mechanism limiting the depth. It's just something that goes with having the cooler f-body headlights.

How did you come about that?

This is still interesting. Why wouldn't they work?

They wouldn't work because they're a 4651 lamp (100mm x 165mm commonly called 4x6) and the 98-02 Firebird takes the smaller 4701 / 4703 lamps (92mm x 150mm commonly called 3x5).

The 4x6 lamps would fit 93-97 Firebirds but not 98-02.

Thanks for posting the pics man. Can you show what it looks like maybe like 5-10 feet back from the car, with the lights off, but the headlights popped up?
