Thread: 99 GT HID Headlamps

Yep, Retrofit!

http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...ctors-97-03-GP

Mini H1 Morimoto with 5k bulbs, and you'll be more than impressed. Total cost to do it yourself is around $350-400 depending on what parts you choose.

Yep just put in HIDs in the stock housings make sjre to aim them down so you dont blind everyone. If yours are currently leaky and foggy buy some new ones on ebay and re use the old mounting brackets. But if you have 500 bucks to spend retrofit is the best and will probably beat the output of your avenger. Classy Pontiac makes retros starting at 375 I belive. Then just add an HID kit.

Not properly. By all means, put HIDs in the factory housings and blind everyone and look like a ricer. And no aiming them doesn't help.

Well he does have a point. I would just go retros. They look better and the light output is amazing. But I'm in the HID's in stock housings club, I forgot to mention going that route you lose high beams.

I ran HIDs in stockish headlights for over a year till I got my retros. That is a HUGE improvement in light output, but it is no where CLOSE to the light output of retros.

Hit up classy if you want retros but don't have the time. I'v been saving up for a set. Here is his thread with pictures of his work. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...7-08+retrofits

I try to be fun.

You won't miss your high beams if you put HIDs in your factory lights because it's like driving around with your high beams on all the time.

I read up on here for a couple months, and retrofits are the only way to go. Order from Classy, I did. He uses Morimoto products from TheRetrofitSource. Search those 2 companies anywhere on the net and your mind will be made up for you.

Or just have iceman whoer up pictars.

It's not THAT bad. HIDs in stock headlights are not the best way to do it, but it does work.

Check the link I posted, its to his retro thread. Has all the info on it

There's a right way and a wrong way.
