lemme know what you think!

I don't like them at all..... But it's your car, do what you want.

there ok , look like the lights that where on the prototype firehawk in 98

Not for $1000.

Those are the Breathless Performance lights, from what i have read on here they are sh*t for what you pay. Even then $1,000 for some headlights is a waste of money, at one time i did want them. I just went ahead and used the money on some mods that actually make a difference (cam). Either way your car, and your money spend it how you want.

No. Spend money on other things.

If you didn't want flip up headlights... you should've bought a camaro.

$1000 for headlights. Fail train. You might aswell take $1000 and throw it in the garbage. Let's say you bought them and 2 months from now you need some extra cash. So you think man ill just sell my 1000$ headlights... GL with that.

Don't like them. :doublepuk Makes it look like a camaro. I personally would never do that to my bird.

i don't like them even if they were $100~!

i think it would look cool on a black car if you black-out the lense a bit. but until they slash price by at least 75%, then i might be interested.

Not impressed, but curious, what type of housings are they providing at this grand price? Anyone know?

Flip-up light cars are so sweet. I don't know why you'd want to convert them.

Looks pretty awful in my opinion.

Amen! Never heard of a Firebird owner that didn't notice the flip-up headlights before buying their car.

i don't plan on buying them, i just wanted to see what everyones' opinion was. personally, for 1k i wouldn't buy those. they look alright though

Wow are you new? i was expecting this to be a 5 year+ thread back from the dead. Try a search. LOL. These are CRAP. For $1,000 you don't even get HID. Lame.

thanks for your opinion.. and yes i am new.. in fact i just bought my car about a week and a half ago. and thanks for your "try a search" remark.. i'll keep that in mind next time i ask for an opinion on an item.

Hey buddy ask away. That's what these forums are for. I bought my first trans am back in 1981 and I ask questions here all the time. Don't be afraid to ask opinions either, though you won't always like the responses. Just an FYI, Ive gotten alot of stuff from the WS6store and they're great. Fast shipping and lots of cool stuff to get your bird. Have fun with her. :D

Hi and welcome to the best forum for body’s!
Don’t stop to ask Q that’s why we have this forum for.
I love those headlights, I’m actually thinking of buying me a set just to get another look on my car. IMO car get a more modern look with the Lemans style headlights

thanks for your opinion.. and yes i am new.. in fact i just bought my car about a week and a half ago. and thanks for your "try a search" remark.. i'll keep that in mind next time i ask for an opinion on an item.

Welcome! And congrats on your purchase, you will love the car! As far as lighting goes, as of now, you really only have one option to upgrade. RETROFIT. Or in other words, using your stock housings, adapt them to hold projector lights and and HID kit. The projector lenses are usually OEM from another car manufacturer such as BMW(e46 headlights usually) Or Infinity FX. Look up a member called VIP1. Or ill give you a link actually. In his lighting FAQ he provides links and details to most headlight options we have. As far as housings right now, there's nothing. These are the only Non pop up lights and are crap.

Now there ARE a few members on here, like me, who are making our own non pop up headlights. Using a lot of the info in the FAQ, along with building our own housings out of fiberglass and lexan, or whatever materials we've chosen. Some of them may or may not become available, just watch for threads in the future. Until then what i would recommend is a retro fit using fx35 or fx45 headlights. Follow one of the builds in the FAQ.

Amen! Never heard of a Firebird owner that didn't notice the flip-up headlights before buying their car.
As a kid I WANTED to buy a Firebird BECAUSE of the flip up lights... and I knew I'd never be able to afford a corvette. :lol:

This was them..........

I'm the black sheep but i think this ^ is thw worst looking firebird in history. I HATE those lights. Horrible. Way too small and sleepy looking. I hate the breathless kit but i think they look about 100x better.

Man, glad you found those.. I bet now that we have a link the word might get out about the incredible lights..

$1,000 would be better spent on go fast mods!!!!

naw don't like them never have and never will i'm glad they didn't come out with the firehawk....

Some topics have been discussed over and over, so sometimes it pays to try a quick search before reposting an old topic. Otherwise, we have to give you a hard time about it :)....I think that's one of the forum rules :devil:

fail...

i dont like them. Not for $1000 or even $100. I like the way the pop-up lights look on these cars

WOW, those are awesomely fugly... hell no. corvette has a light system like that and they are ugly too.. keep the flip up.

I cant see coughing up $1000 for that.

I would get them if they were way way way way way way way way less..not for a G though

OMFG! i want them! those are so amazing looking, i will never again have to deal with a headlight motor! WOOT! just what ive always been looking for!









Disclaimer: :barf:

Flip-up headlights on the Firebird have become sort of iconic. Lose the headlights, you lose the name. It's like buying Firebird and turning it into a Camaro or Corvette. You should've just started with one of those to save yourself $1000.

I like my flip up lights, BUT I do hate the problems that come along with them.

I think I can deal with the small problems V.S dropping 1,000 on some lights. Back when I first saw these I kinda liked them but they just make it look really ricey to me now.

Love the Look.
Hate the way they fit

One they are a rip off at $1k and two they look like crap. Just doesn't go with the firebird design at all and they don't even look factory. Posting about these headlights especially "Has anyone seen these?" it's like welcome to last year x 10 literally. It's your car but i think you're better off using $1k to buy performance parts instead of those crappy headlights.

Damn... Everybody is flaming this guy bad. Jeez. :punch:

All he did was ask if anyone had seen them before lol...

I personally like these head lights, but as the others said, for 1k they can suck my nuts...... Id see 250 tops for the pair and that better include HID system with it...

And it doesn't look like a Camaro to me, looks closer to the C6 lights.... now a C6 light conversion in a Fbody would probably look sweet too, or maybe the 5th gen Maro's lights, I really like those..
