Headlight Conversion(non Pop-up)
Hey, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas about converting to non pop-ups. Ive seen some corvettes do it but i was wondering if its possible for a third gen firebird? Thanks. Jesse

here is a site that i found about 2 years ago with a firebird converted to the non-popup style.
i spoke with him every so often but was never able to purchase a set from him. he stated once that nextgenparts.com was interested in his idea and that they were going to produce them (early Jan. about 2 years ago), but i dont think they ever offered them still.
good luck in you quest, and drop another post if you ever become successfully. g*d knows i tried...

Thanks for that site. Now i was wondering...im pretty good at fabrication, do you think it would be against the law( i live in CA) if i made a set like that??? I could get all the parts i need from a auto parts store(and my friends shop).

I think you will be fine AS LONG AS you use REAL headlights and not foglights. the 93-96 Camaro style headlight for example.
Not for certain, but that might be your best bet...
