Well i got my HIDs in over the weekend and well they r awesome! I went drivin that night and it was a total 180 from b4...I could actually c things when i drove by them...I ended up goin with 5000k from 813motoring.net...i dealt with Matt so if any of u guys want them for ur LT1 style camaro do it through him...Didn't take long at all....hardest part was finding where to put the ballest after the install...

 

looks good, they really do make a differance.

 

hell ya they do...night and day differnce

 

You have any pics of what they look like under some light w/ the hood popped? Also where'd the ballests end up going?
Looks good

 

here u go

 

Who'd you order from? Was it a ready made kit or did you do the conversion on you factory lights?

 

i got it from www.813motoring.com ...i had to do the sealed beam conversion....some rtv thats it...

 

Yeah, that's how I did the 9005/9006 conversion on mine. If some1 cwould start to manufacture a euro clear headlight the same size as ours with 9005/9005 fittings in the back I'd be in. An hid conv. on those would rock!

 

I got a question. I just picked up some "xenon plasma blue" bulbs and converted my high beams. They are 12v/100w 8000k. Now i'm no electrical guru i'm just reading what's on the box. I've read about a balast. What does a balast do? These new ones are the same connection as my stockers. Am i going to have to get a balast or some type of wiring upgrade? I plugged one in and left it on for 5-6 minutes to see if the wires got warm and they didn't. Sorry to sound like a newb but like i said not very electrially inclined here.

 

Would this work on a LT1 Trans Am as well? Could you do a quick write up on the sealed beam conversion? The TA lighting is much better than the Z, but it could still use an upgrade...and the prices on 813motoring.com were not bad at all. Thanks!!

OH...yours looks sweet to...looks like it should've come from the factory that way!

 

Here's a link to the sealed beam conversion. He just did it with HID'S basically.

I must have missed something when I clicked the 813 motoring link, anyway, If I REMEMBER correctly the LT1 T/A has one large headlight, correct? If i'm right then you would end up with just a low beam. I think some of the fancy HID conversions are available in highs and lows but they are pricey.

 

thanks man...ya i dunno about doin it on a ta since ur light serves as the high beam also....IM hulkgt01....hes matt from the website and he could hook u up with a kit if ur interested

 

Yes, one headlight that houses high/low beams...and yes, I would lose the high beams unless I went with the more expensive kits.

Thanks

 

It would be a good idea to pick up a upgrade harness with heavier guage wire but ballasts are for HID's not high watt bulbs. You can get the harness upgrades on ebay all day for under 20 bucks. It would be less likely to get hot and melt and would carry current to those high watt bulbs with less resistance.

 

Do they blind people? I'd like more light but every kit so far I've seen cannot cut-off the light at a certain angle like factory ones do so they don't blind people. Also why most conversions are not street legal.
