Anyone know where to get HID conversions for the sealed beams on a GTA?? I have found ALOT of companies that sell the conversion for halogen bulb cars, but not for the sealed beam. I know that they are very expensive, but I would like to have them. If none knows, I will post it if I do find a company that does do the conversion.

 

I have seen the kits on ebay, around $40 I believe for each set of sealed beam HIDs.

There's a lot of bulb's and lamps sold on eBay that are advertised as "HID" that only use a standard type of bulb or lamp that shines a bit brighter. These, of course are not real HID(one sure tip-off is if the bulb isn't replaceable, i.e.,... sealed beam).

Sylvania makes an upgrade to HID for 3rdgen Camaro's and Firebird's. They are quite pricey($800+). You might want to get a replaceable bulb halogen type lamp, and use a xenon-charged bulb to get brighter output without killing the budget.

p.s. The above links will get you to the replacement bulb page. Look for the "Xenarc" icon to get the correct HID upgrade kit for your car.

Thanks for the link. You're right on in your assumption about the bulbs on E-bay being just replacement bulbs and there are alot of colored bulbs also. The latter blbs are actually DIMMER than the traditional sealed beam halogen that came factory in third-gens.
