  • Exposed Headlights

    I have a quick question. Do they make aftermarket exposed headlights for firebirds (93-2002)?

    Do you mean non-popups?

    They do for 98-02, but they're extremely expensive.

          Why don't you just get the clear headlight covers. They're cheaper than the aftermarket non-pop ups.

            ^^Um... headlight covers for a Firebird? No such thing. The only things you can do with Firebird headlights are:

            Non-popup conversion ($1,000)
            Upgrade bulbs ($20 per bulb)

                  Christ on a stick, we're not going to say anything involving, "Hey a cop can't get you with his radar gun if you do this to your car!"

                  Unfortunately... waxing your car, having darker paint, neon lights, window tint, headlight mods, and NOS stickers do not do anything to a cop's radar or laser gun. This has been discussed before and locked because of the stupidity.

                  The conversion they're talking about is the one made by Octane Motorsports and 99% of the time looks 100% retarded.

                        um actually when i was reading reviews from magazines that deal specificly with radar detectors, it is proven that it is harder to laser a car that is black, and easiest to laser a white car. a car with no chrome and no exposed headlights is also harder to laser. this is because laser uses light difraction and cannot pick up on the car as well

I was it every day and the radar can't pick it up. I have a chain license plate holder. When a cop pulls me over, I'm like hey man, why don't you do your job and catch a murderer.

                            they look good on some cars, a friend has it on a white 98 ta without the ram air hood, looked VERY nice.

                            I wanted those lights SO bad, but the price.. is a bit much :( for $1000 i would buy them, if they had hid projectors installed.

                              Ive seen them in person on a firebird and liked the look of them, its different. Like i said i liked them but its not really for a firebird.
