what did you do for headlights

i want to replace everything and clear out the turn signals. What conversion bulbs or kits did you use to upgrade your headlights and for fogs what looks good. Also is it possible to clear the turn signals?

If you want to clear the side turn signals then yes it is possible to do that. Everyday someone posts a new thread asking where to get clear turn signals, or if anyone has them (88% of the members do). If you're talking about the front turn signals (also known as the parking lights) then check e-bay for a good price.

You sure about that? Never seen firebird front marker lights.

Foglights, get those "blazer" imitations for cheap and get some 100w bulbs (making sure the wiring it able to handle it; you'd even improve the stockers by just running better wires and new relays.

For the headlights, you have a few options. Sylvania has their silverstar (brighter, whiter) bulb as a replacement of the 6054 that goes there stock. Or you could grab some h4 conversion housings and run a brighter lights (silverstar or othertype)

Yeah, just ditch those retarded "xenon" bulbs and get something better.

I'd try to find some without the city light wedgy bulb down in the bottom. You will have to trim the backing metal cup behind the bulb to get it to fit snuggly.

Not at all. The picture didn't show up when I posted that. I just assumed it was a Camaro for some reason. Never mind.

Well you know what happens when you assume.....

To the original poster... You could always try to clear your stock fron lenses yourself. A few people have it. A few different ways I imagine. Even something as simple as picking up some diffused (or not if you prefer) clear plastic locally, cutting off the front of your lenses and epoxying the clear stuff on would work.
