Default Best HID brand???
What would be the best set up with HIDs for a 2000 Trans Am? Housing, bulbs, wiring harness?

In for answer.

Was literally just researching this. I am curious if it is better to just get some of those sealed Hella projectors (60mm) for $30 a piece on Amazon and cut a bracket to fit the housing.

Don't go with those projectors, they absolutely suck ***.

This is the feedback I needed! But, obviously makes my search more troublesome.

I'm waiting for BLS to come out with their new setup so I can happily ditch these Hellas (I've thought about going back to stock). For the extra $50 Morimoto D2S are worth it over the Hellas, but I'm very interested in BLS' new setup they teased about.

I am also patiently awaiting that setup, but the girlfriend and I were on a short road trip last night and I felt blind compared to my Mustang.

Best brand for HIDs is morrimotto .
bls also sells headlight upgrade options for fbodies that really make these cars much safer to drive at night compared to stock and appearance is of a new car.
