Total install time about 10mins. Took a few seconds to adjust them with the 'eyeball' calibrator.

Mind you, its raining here and my camera sucks so it picked up a lot of glare and doesn't focus well.

Yeah for a Camaro maybe but not a TransAm. For the TA's you still need to buy a housing that has a replaceable bulb. Like a Hella or EuroLamp conversion headlight. Or you could gut the stock housings because the stock TA headlights are a sealed beam headlight, which means the bulb is the entire headlight housing.

Unless you can prove me wrong, I just don't see how this kit can be plug and play for TA's with the stock headlights??

You are 110% correct We were under the assumption from the manufacturer that these kits worked with 98-02 Trans am/Formula headlights. The thread has been updated and a few credits have already been made to customers who purchased this kit for their Firebird. I apologize for the confusion and thank you for pointing this out

Unfortunately we do not have a kit available for the 98-02 firebirds. The kit for the 06-09 TBSS will work for a regular trailblazer.

just intalled my HIDs!!! Had some trouble at first but the guys here on LS1tech steered me in the right direction. Took all of 10mins to install, just had to reverse the plug on the ballast. They look great I'll get some pix up later.

The firebirds run a sealed headlight housing so currently we do not have any kits available.

This is exactly what I have been looking for but I have read on here HID's are no good without projectors. Is this any different? From what I have read is that without projectors the light won't be much better than stock and will blind everyone else. I'd like to be able to see better at night because what I have now is horrible even after adjusting and I'd love to get this but how does it compare to say a $300 - $400 retrofit of projector HID's?


Will these not work on a 98 camaro? They are listed 99-02...

I'm a bit confused. For the 93-97 Camaros, does the HID bulb come already sealed in the headlight housing (similar to a factory sealed beam halogen) or is the housing similar to the one at eurolights where the bulbs can be replaced without having to heat up the silicone, etc.?
