    I know this. I did it as well. But, I do not know if the Camaro and TA/Firebird have the same headlights.

    I know the older camaros with the LT1's came with the 4 square lights and those are identical.

    At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

      blue headlights?

      legacy image

      Please don't.

      Changing the bulb color via a tinted lens or glass actually reduces the amount of light you'll perceive as the driver. It will very likely increase the perceived glare for oncoming traffic.

      Changing the type of bulb without changing the optics of the housing will almost certainly blind oncoming traffic.

            blue doesn't mean more output.

              obviously this chick wants em cuz she wants blue head lights, not because she wants more output.

              I believe she is refering to HID's. H4 Conversion plus HID kit

                i looked at the hid's there what i'm looking for. out put is not a concern for me i want them for the look. you all know they look sweet lol. i tried the silver stars in it and they didn't make a difference for seeing compared to the old ones i had in there. (Just so there is no mix up i know there not blue just in case you think im a ditz lol) I just like the way they look.

                    they serve no purpose other than aesthetics. HID's aren't the blue lights he is refering to( I don't think). HID's have A very high output and in a good housing they can be a vital mod to any car.

                                      properly aimed hella E-code lights will not blind anyone. I imported european spec halogen projectors from the Audi RS2 for my old car and the european sharp cutoff is a fantastic beam pattern.

                                      If euro lamps are installed in proper buckets they are both LR and UP/DN adjustable and should NOT blind anybody. Daniel Stern (who knows everything there is to know about automotive lighting) has the e-code aiming instructions on his web page.

                                      http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html

                                      I would suggest that somebody NOT retrofit HIDs into thier car unless they find a new lens and lamp housing specifically made for an HID style bulb. Not doing so will produce poor lighting and blind oncoming traffic.

                                      Currently I've only seen one product that claims to be a true HID bulb that fits in an a halogen bulb base. I have no idea if this product is worth a damn or not since the way light escapes a HID bulb is entirely different than how light leaves physical-filament halogen bulbs. The lamp optics and bulb mounting must be designed entirely around the design of the bulb in order for things to line up properly.
