- Install and review for the newer Late Model Lighting Headlights for the 98-02 trans ams, firebirds. Huge upgrade from stock.
Recommend connecting a battery charger during install to keep good voltage. LED’s won’t turn on with very low voltage. - Авто та транспорт
Thanks! I just bought a trans am and I was a little confused when I saw what I now know is a “sealed beam!” And I like that those aftermarket lights fit the car! OEM+ is going to be my goal with mine!
Thanks for making this video and for the tip on repinning the connectors! Just did this install this morning on my 2000 WS6 - fast and easy job and they look beautiful. I’m no longer embarrassed to pop up the headlamps. 😄
Makes a HUGE difference, glad I did it
@@autolapse3693 also thanks. Didn't know you could do this. My first connector was a bit difficult but it was slightly melted, the rest were easy.
@autolapse3693 these look virtually identical to the LMC Truck housings which are like half the price
Thanks for the in-depth and very thorough tutorial. Great product! I too can see an immediate difference. I got something for them jacked up truck with leds now!
Thanks for the video. I will deffinitly be ordering a pair for my 02 T/A.
The only thing I saw here was the turbos on that beauty😲
Those are really niice! Not exactly stock looking but probably close enough for most. I'm working on a LED conversion that is 100% stock looking utilizing the original factory headlight housing for significantly less. My prototypes look and work wonderfully.
Seen a few videos recommending this light upgrade but yours is the only one I have seen clearly explain how to swap (not cut) the connectors for a clean install. Also, the added explanation of the wire routing issue is another excellent portion. Thank you for this. My lights have now been ordered and I cannot wait to do the install.
Secondary questions: Where did you buy your wheels and what brand and model are they? Also, what twin turbo kit do you have?
Appreciate the feedback! They are Weld S71 wheels with fitment for a Chevy SS/G8 to clear the brembo brakes up front. I got them on trade locally. The turbo kit is from Huron Speed and is a nice setup
Just got mine on the weekend. So thankful for the tip to swap the connectors themselves instead of cutting or soldering. Makes for a very clean install. Having not done it before, taking the old pins out was a bit more involved for me but watching your video again I was able to do it without destroying anything. Much appreciated.
@@victorassivero1061 glad I could help!
They are pretty good. Took 8 months after ordering to receive them. And opened the boxes to find one lense cracked. Was pretty upset but they fast shipped a new one. Quality was very good. Just the bulbs fit really loose on the housing causing water to sit inside the housing. No matter how much I tried to get them tightened they still kept collecting water. No way to review them in any way and they make sure of it
Did you put the grease around the seal for the air tight lock? Thats what the instructions said to me
@7771ham I did bro. I really wish it worked.
@@sidlujano377 maybe some silicone sealer would work better.
Do you know what type of LED bulb those are? Like H4?
hey i know this is a old post... i had bought a led kit with ballasts for my 1995 convertible and it was expensive...my problem was true it was much brighter, but not focused...so interstate signs glowed bright but my driving lights sucked as well as brights...could see better with old ones...these seem better...although my fog lights were awesome until one came loose and burned my 2002 TA fog light housing.... I tried to click your link to purchase, but it will not load and says it is no longer available...Id like for you or others to provide me with a reliable trustworthy link that sells the kit including fog lights that actually work at a reasonable price or give me the part numbers so I can try and find them... Thanks to all willing to help!
What is the number on these LED bulbs? They look like H11's. Just curious as if a bulb goes out, it would be nice to know what goes in to replace.
where can I buy them
What’s the link to the website to buy these?
Crazy I bought Headlights for my 99 and they are 4x6s which are 1/4 inch to big all they way around. Is there a way I can still use them or do you have a link for these.
If the ones you have are too big I don’t think there would be a way to modify them to fix, it’s pretty much gotta be the right size. Here’s a link to the ones in the video

@@autolapse3693 thank you
whats the name of the product
Pretty sure the LMC Truck headlight housings are half the price of these and it's the same thing
Do these have to be aligned
Yup, you can use the stock adjuster if they’re not frozen up. My lights were aligned before hand and didn’t change after the install
@autolapse3693 gonna install these tomorrow, thanks for the very helpful vid
wow , what size are those tires ? thx
245/40/18 fronts and 305/45/17 rears
where did you get everything?
From latmodellighting.com
@@autolapse3693 thank you so much
why those are so expensive?.. i just need the housings.. not the led.. lights..
Lmctruck has housing for cheaper 35 bucks a pop same ones for 88-94? Gm pickups part# 360302 for low beams
@@camaroman101what about the high beams? Same housing part number?
You unfortunately didnt swap over the weatherpack seals into the back of that connector when you swapped wires, so its definitely not sealed up. Honestly soldering and heatshrinking the nice new weatherpack connectors onto the oem wiring would be faster and better off.
Too bad they are ridiculously over priced. $380 for highs and lows... lmao...
LMC Truck housings are half the price same thing
I saw eBay DOT ones with replaceable bulbs for like $120 for 4 , and $50 for the non-DOT
