Any 98-02 Birds in the area for a quick test fit of a new headlight kit? - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

Blackbirdws6 · 02-07-2013, 08:11 AM

Looking for anyone in the local Piscataway/New Brunswick area that has a 98-02 Firebird. My company has a new headlight setup ready for test fitting and it should only take about 10-15 minutes to verify. Your car will not be modified in any way and it will leave as it came.

Please PM me. Week nights are OK but weekends work as well.

Actually, it's about time to mount the headlights back on. She's not registered, insured, or inspected yet; Shoot up 287!

What is this new headlight kit?! I still have yet to install my kit I bought from you... which reminds me I should coordinate with you again soon.

Going to be a bi-xenon projector for the low beam. Current customers who want to upgrade will be able to retain their existing ballasts, wiring, and most of the pieces of the original kit. Since you have the premium kit with all four headlights replaced, this upgrade will now give you the benefit of a HID high beam providing more light. The low beam performance will also be improved as well.

You should proof-read before you post, bro.

It runs and drives... even stops! I just don't trust it yet

So the new kit would be a bi-xenon, but would it eliminate the highbeam as well? For those of us with the "premium kit," would we be able to retain our highbeams & shine bright like a diamond?

Curious what it'll look like, aesthetically.

The high beam will not be eliminated. With the bi-xenon installed in the low beam position, it will essentially give you dual high beams (bi-xenon in high beam mode, halogen projector or factory sealed beam). The only extra wiring is a split connector for the high beam pigtail. The kit will look pretty similar to what you have now but you will see more "hardware" over the current setup.

So, they will finally be as cool as the LT1 camaro setups?

I mean, I have had 4 low beams for years.

Sounds good. You will be glad you did.

Just curious, whose hid kit do you use?

DDM usually for the 98-02 Bird kits. Morimoto for others. These two brands have worked well and shown to be very reliable. Can't say the same for other brands we have used.

Jersey_TA · 03-03-2013, 07:27 PM

I might have to get off my a$$ and buy a kit since I'm driving a T/A again. I used TRS morimotos when I retrofitted my silverado....pain in the a$$ by the way.
