Matrix(used to have), APC, Pilot(the ones I currently have), Hella, list goes on and on.
The Matrix ones i wouldn't recommend, cuz the lenses crack easily. I recommend getting the Pilot ones. They're one of the cheapest ones but the help put out more light than the rest. I've tried most of the ones i've listed.

Replacments
When the bulb burns out, do you need to replace the entire thing (the glass case), or just the H-4 bulb on the inside. ?

Should be simple install
I perdonally havnt installed a set in mine yet. But i have installed them in other cars before,I know I hadto modify it to fit a 92 Chevy Blazer becuase there grille was gay, but from what I can see on our cars, it shoudl just fit right on. And you have to also buy a set of H4 lgithbulbs. And the H4 takes the same wiring harness plug as the ones your lights take now?

how much is all this going to cost to do? and are the prices any different for a trans-am rather than a camaro?
#22
Prices?
Well, I live in Canada, I sell the lights for $40 each, so $80 for the pair, and I sell a 2 Pack of H4 Hyper White bulbs for $25. These prices are in canadian, so whatever that is in U.S, thats roughly what it should cost give or take.

Don't you actually need four headlights
Those blue bulbs should work all right. I don't see any reason why the shouldn't.
If you are going to convert the headlights on a camaro, you will need four conversion kits right ???

You guys that already have the lights, are they brighter that the stock lights? Do you think they will allow more light thru for the people with headlight blackout covers?

I don't know if I'd say they are brighter than the stock ones - but mine came with those blue tinted H4 bulbs and they gave a very white light. However, they (blue bulbs) look like cr@p when thel lights are off...
Now, of course you can put bigger H4 bulbs in, like 100/80W rather than the 60/55W that you're supposed to use. This will give a brighter light, but might very well burn up your reflectors if the lights are not high quality.
You will probably get brighter headlights from re-doing your wiring to the stock headlights with some beefier ones than you will from simply swapping the stock lights for the clear ones.
I did the swap purely for looks, and Im very pleased with them!

if you've got 300+ dollars to spend on lighting, you can get an H4 HID kit from Hella which is incredibly bright and incredibly nice looking. I've got H4 Bulbs conversion, the whole thing cost $60 including the bulbs. They are nice, they are pretty bright, but I think that a true xenon kit would be better.
