IF you want to run HID's in your 93-7 Firebird, I would go with an aftermarket GLASS housing for an H4. Then, you can get an H4 HID setup and go with either the single beam (you will have no highs) or the dual beam setup (you'll have high beam but the cost about the same as 2 single beam systems.)

I have a low beam HID kit on my 94 Z with the 98-02 front end and also put a set in my wife's 94 Vert. All you have to do is take a heat gun and heat the stock housing up at the bulb then use a prying tool to slowly release the bulb from the housing. Then, I ground off the locking tabs from the HID bulb so it was the same diameter as the neck of the factory housing. Leave the O ring on the HID bulb to keep things seal and also to help hold the bulb where it needs to be. I then used epoxy (you could use silicone but I dont' know how long it would hold) to permanently put the bulb in place. Pay attention when you epoxy the bulb in as most of the wires come out at a 90 degree angle. If you put it in wrong, you have to cut your headlight mounting panel so everything fits well. I mounted my ballasts and starters behind the radiator support so if I get in a wreck they will hopefully be safe.

I can supply some pics if anyone wants to see.

Does the LT1 still need 2 kits?

IF you want true HID's in both your low and high beams, yes. I just have low beams in both of my cars and used the dimmer switch for a 93-97 Camaro as it lights both the lows and highs on high beam. If I ever get the extra money, I will buy high beams....

i knew it was too cheap to be true

I guess i'll buy low beams first since its the ones you use the most...

what else did you do to make the high beams light up with the low beams?

Ryan94ZA4

If you have a 93-97 Camaro, it already is set up to light all the lights on high beam. If you have a 98-up Camaro or a Firebird or TA, you can just upgrade to the 93-97 Camaro dimmer switch.

My camaro shuts down the low when using high...

Ryan94ZA4

If you are talking about the car in your sig, it is the incorrect dimmer switch for your car. I'd go get another one and make sure to get it for the 93-97 car.

factory dimmer switch i have it since new... i'll check it out anyways....

Anything new about the hid lights for lt1 powered trans ams? Or any leads on where to get glass h4 housings?

tbyrne

Nothing yet. We probably get the most requests from TA users and wish they can be supplied.

captain_foustas

so nothin yet or nothing period?

<~~~Here's another interested TA person.

I think a HID upgrade on the LS1 T/A's would look pretty sweet

Myxtreme1

Yep...and a complete front end upgrade for the lt1 TA's, lol.

Hella sells a glass housing for the 93-7 Firebird/TA. You will then have to buy either a single beam H4 HID kit (no high beams....) or a dual beam H4 HID kit (high beam and low beam but double the price)

I would do this to my TA but I don't plan on keeping it. I have HID's in my white Z and the wife's vert; one is an old 4th gen front and the other is a new 4th gen front. Definitely a good upgrade if you do a lot of night time driving.
