Exposed Headlights

[Darigaaz]

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

[Dan Vincent]

Do you mean non-popups?

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

[Darigaaz]

yea, like the ones for vettes or rx7s. oh well :(

[bret_xi]

i looked around one time and cheapest i could ever find on the internet was around 1000$ plus shipping.. and that was on ebay

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)

it would look stupid, plus heres a neat fact, its harder to laser a car without headlights if youre a cop

[BLLDOGG]

i think the firebirds with no popups looks badass

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!"

:rolleyes:
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.

With that black bird it would look awesome to smoke the covers..

[Darigaaz]

Alot of them do look stupid but a select few actually look good. thanks for the replies

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.
