Headlight mod revisted

Here are my headlights at night. The camera did its best.













And, yes, I am aware my foglights are massively misaligned, so no wise remarks about that

That third pic is wicked! The low profile of the lights makes it look mean!

Looks real nice Am.. I bet it looks great going down the highway at dusk.

By the way, your fog lights are massively misaligned.

Not to flame you, but why didn't you get a Camaro? The lights look the same.

pookey, I owned a Camaro before, and let me tell you, THEY LOOK LIKE CRAP when compared to a Firebird, only time they look better is at night, and well, I fixed that!
Just my opinion and the reason I bought a Firebird, not trying to insult Camaros.

I think I may know why those foglights are misaligned. Its so Doug can keep track of the curbs while he is roasting his tires at night!!!

hey aren't the 4th gen headlights the same as the early to mid 90's 2-dr grand prix's lights???? Those are small enough to where they might work a bit better with the setup that you are trying to achieve... just an idea, and suggestion

------------------
1988 Camaro Sport Coupe
2.8 V6, TCI 3200 Stall TC, B&M Transkit, 80 Series Flowmaster w/ Catback, '85 Firebird SE 3.73 Rear (soon)
'83 CFI Z/28 Hood, '87 16" IROC Wheels on Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's, '92 Z/28 Bowtie Grille
IROC Gauges, IROC Taillights, IROC Foglamps w/ retrofitted 9005 hi-beam headlight bulbs

1985 Firebird SE
2.5 I4, T-5, 3.73 rear (going to the sport coupe)
Beat to a pulp.

Actually, no, there are two small size headlights, the Camaro ones are too big. The ones that MIGHT work are the ones on 80s Grand Ams and stuff, mostly Pontiac sedans. Those might work, but I can't find a set....
