I said I'd do it if no one else did and here they are- Fixed TA headlights!! Just finished my fixed headlight conversion. Let me know what you guys think.

Ha, I normally don't like them because they make the front of the car look even more busy, but your car stands out so much as it is so why not....
Really only 2 things matter....well three, your sweet paint job and your twin turbos.

Nice halos. I assume that's all custom work? That's pretty sweet. Also, I'm looking at HID projectors, right?

And a few more. I don't plan on making any more or selling these. Stock headlights are in the for sale section and ebay shortly.

The projectors are not HID at the time. That will be done sometime next month. The foglights you see where the blinkers used to be are HID style made by MIIG. They're pretty bright!

actually, if you just fixed a bit of the gaping by the hood, i think it looks better than the breathless setup. Good job!

They are definitely one of the nicer setups I've seen.
Take and post some more pictures during the daylight and take some pictures of the whole car.....like to see them.

Thanks guys, I really do like how they came out. I had just washed the car before the pics which is why there is still some droplets on the lenses...I need to get a chamoise. The halo's & eyelids look pretty mean at sunset.

Holy Hell they look awesome. I love the halo-type of lighting and the turn signals. Looks sweet!

Something about the front end reminds me of a GTO. The whole setup is really nice.

Guess I'm on my own here but I personally don't care for that look at all. I'm not a big fan of that "breathless" setup either. Firebirds need the hidden lights to look right in my opinion.

I'm with Mike - not much for fixed headlights. If I still had a 'Bird, I'd opt for a sleepy-eye mod. But as far as I know, one doesn't exist!
I do respect the custom look of your front end though. MUCH better looking than Breathless.
