non pop up lights for pontiacs?
ive saw these lights for c5 corvettes, and i think they have them for the 98+ trans ams but has anyone ever saw a 1993-1997 firebird with lights that dont flip up?? its kind of hard to explain but im sure some one knows what im talking about?

i'm under taking this head light conversion on my firebird as part of my company's project along with doing our turbo and twin turbo kit for it. if you decide to try it e-mail me and i'll lend any hands of advice i might have by that time. don't know how well it will work out right now though.

I think it would be cool if the conversion did something similar to this concept art I found for the 4th Gen Firebirds.
Pic
It only raises up a little bit, and wouldn't deflect as much air as our current lights do. If it only came up a few inches and had small, fog-light-like bulbs in them, that would be awesome.

That concept bird looks sweet
I think i may try to do a headlight conversion like that if my damn headlamp module blows for the 3rd time.... really doesnt look too hard... just mount in some high-power fogs, and fix the lights so they wont go up or down.. i dunno how it would look durin the day, but alot less problems...

we need someone with some photochop experience... maybe take a pic of their bird with the headlights part-way up like the concept... then just add in some flat fogs instead of the exisiting headlights

I dont think it is possible to make a kit that would sit flush with the hood and have working headlights... the body lines are not right for it... in order for there to be a clear kit like the rx-7, the lights will need to bubble up, and IMO it would look real funny cause it wouldnt flow right.... i like the idea of only popping them up a lil like the pic, then fixing them in place and adding some new fogs.... some adjustments would have to be made to the door and some minor painting would have to be done, but i think it would look sweet

Can't wait to see them Big!
I think that the clear bubble would look better then them being up a bit. If they are up with some sort of light showing I would think that the motor is just broken.
My opion anyways doesn't mean a thing
