1998 3.8L V6 Pontiac Firebird HID Headlights and Fogs 10,000k! #2

Both the low beams and the fog lights are HID's. 10,000k. The price for the fog light kit was $65 and required no modification, just plug and play. The price of the low beams were about $110 which required retro-fitting some H4703 housings to take the new bulbs, buying 9005 headlight connectors and splicing them, some high temp silicone and there you go. You're finished.

Did u use a relay?

[cmccane]

@blakxican899 No, no relay. These will just plug right in to the stock wiring. Wiring > ballast > bulbs. I used stock housings but removed the bulb from the back. It unscrews once you get the rubber/plastic thing off the back. And I used a pliers for that.

No I don't get flashed for these. The camera doesn't do justice for the beam pattern, it's an 8 year old 5 mp camera. I'll redo a video in HD with my new camera. I also have HIDs in my hi beams now. The lighting improvement is great, though not as focused as if I had projectors. They are aimed correctly so I don't shine into other vehicles windows. Do you own a Bird? If you do, do the mod to yours. Reflector headlamps reflect the light fine. No need for projectors.

were did you buy tthe headlights from? just bought a formula and haveing no luck getting info on headlight conversions .

I bought them on Ebay. Make sure you order the slim ballasts, they are water proof and far less bulky. I'm buying another set, one bulb went out, my fault. They worked for 2 years even through subzero winters.

@hemiowner105 ; dude i have a 2002 TA i just put hid lights for my car. just take the low beam headlight and take out the light bulb than buy HID KIT with felters and adapted to the Lamphousing and use epoxy glue to seal the lights to the housing.

by flashback i mean, do drivers in oncoming traffic flash their high beams at you cause of the glare

[smrtsTV]

seems like the cut off ( or lack there of) makes them un-usable, do you get flashed back all the time?

and with the wide glare is there any actual improvement of lighting?
