Firebird headlight options
What options do us Firebird/TA owners have for headlights?...all I know of is Silverstars and cool blues...I want some good bright headlights with the blue tint to them. Is there a conversion available?

Re: Firebird headlight options
I got the conversions from Hella when they had them. Not sure if they still do. Then I found a nice set of higher wattage H4 bulbs to install into the conversion housings. Along with the higher power bulbs, I upgraded my headlight wiring to use relays so that the power is drawn right off the battery instead of going all the way through the headlight switch...standard headlight wiring upgrade.
When I first turn mine on...they are annoyingly blue. For about 45 seconds. As they heat up they slowly turn white. After about a minute, they are pure white with a hint of blue at certain angles and are plenty bright for me.
I also installed Pilot Ultra White H3 bulbs in my fog lights. Those suckers are bright too. Here is a pic with one Pilot H3 and a regular halogen H3. I had a rock take out my one side...so I just put a regular bulb in until I replace both my foglight units. Again...slight blue tint at certain angles.
you should be able to tell which is which....

The only good one I have of my headlights on...middle of the day in 100% sunlight.
