the breathless headlights are very bad quality for the price. 1k if you didn't notice. the clear cover gets cracked often and it yellows. try a search

Strange. It was the only set I've ever seen. I've scoured Google for them before.

one of the reasons I like the TA over the Camaro is because of the flip lights. And for the $999 price tag, they can shove it.
Sure you can save a few pounds for moving to the C6 lights. But usually the people who are worried about how much their car wieghs, usually is overweight themselfs.

Exposed lights are cool but I'd rather keep my flip-ups and put in some brighter than stock lights for the flip-ups.

I don't care much for the look of our flip up lights (when they're up that is), but I absolutely detest the look of those "C6 style" lights. Personally, I just use the fogs for night driving unless I absolutely have to turn on the headlights. I'm currently looking to upgrade the fogs to permanently replace the headlights.

personaly what would be nicare are flip lights, that flip into those lights, so you never have to *see* those fugly things unless the lights are on, or maybe those lights with the oem identicle looking cover over them that pulls back, just to keep the aerodynamic of the car, and not ahve to put up with the ugly european lookin lights

i just thought i would take a look, those lights remind me of the clear covers you can put on lt1 camaros, not that its bad it just doesn't fit too well on the birds imo.

i know Hella makes some 90mm(4in) round headlights that might work. they are too expensive for me to try them out though

i would consider some non-pop up lights. don't get me wrong the car looks sick with the lights down but i had to change the gear in the drivers side a couple months ago and now the drivers side light wont go up. its a huge pain, i wanted to get some real bright lights to put in my fog lights to atleast drive around with just fog lights. but my brother and friend told me i would get pulled over easily just because fog lights aren't meant to take the place of regular headlights.

I wouldn't get those, but I would like the fixed head lights from the early 98-99 firehawks
