eBay has them as well. I had my boy look them up (he used to run a custom shop) and he said they look fine. I think i saw them for about $150

most likely just the low beams

IMO those kits are junk. The components may be alright but the performance with them in the housings is garbage. You will get glare everywhere which is just wasted light and hazardous to others. I would suggest projectors and HIDs even though it will not be a PNP type deal. I would have gone projectors if they would fit but they didn't so I picked up Hella Free-form housings from rallylights.com and dropped in a H4 HID Hi/Low kit which produces very very minimal glare.

People love the look and color of the HIDs but projectors are the way to go if you have the option.

do you know of anyone that makes a projector housing for these damn headlights because theres no real point in getting then without the correct housing. i was actually going to order them but luckily i checked here first

[Blackbirdws6]

check on LS1tech.com . Do a search on projectors and there are some write-ups you can find. From me briefly looking, the job is not a simple plug and play deal and some fabrication needed to get it done. I think its well worth it IMO and would do it if I had a 98+ bird.

Yea, I've seen people use projector housings from other cars and get them to fit in F-Body housings.

i found a couple but i dont like how it looks.. they had the high beam was the stock housing but the low beam was the round projector housing and it just looks like the terminator to me.. what i would like to find is a direct replacement projection housing but that guy (LS1_SS) that words for ledgagues.com had a kit but it was $999 and it would require modifications.. uugghhhh i miss the SS headlights right about now
