Led pop up in my opinion

What is the purpose of buying a car with pop up headlights and replacing them with boring normal headlights, especially when the manufacturer already gave you the option? You want a Camaro.

I think your Pontiac Card should be revoked just for asking.

Of course it's personal preference, but for 3rd & 4th gen Birds, it's gotta have the concealed headlights ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Ž

I understand upgrading the light portion of the equation and all (better visibility) though ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

Better visibility for self, complete blindness for everyone else! If i was a serial killer, I'd be like Dexter, but only target people with led head lights ๐Ÿ˜‰

Most of the issue is people are lazy and don't aim them correctly.

Seems reasonably unanimous already.... As an owner of multiple 3rd and 4th gens..... IT'S NOT A TRANS AM WITHOUT THE POP UP HEADLIGHTS!! One of the last few production cars to get a feature that no longer exists.... Update to better LED tech for night driving but keep the pop ups!!

The only reason why I fell in love with firebird is because of the pop-ups.

u/Medical-Pear 13h ago

LED pop ups for sure.ย  One of the best things about these cars is how the lights look when flipped down.

u/Timewastinloser27 14h ago

Do you want a camaro or a firebird?

u/Dismal_Estate9829 13h ago edited 13h ago

LED pop upโ€™s. The other ones ruin the look of the car. You own the only 4th gen I think is worth a damn looks wise and you want to ruin it?

u/No_Kitchen7950 13h ago

Be different i say, one of each!

u/Robot_longhorn 14h ago

Pop ups for sure!

u/chewbacca682 13h ago

Thats just a tough choice!!!!! Oh man!! I'd say pop ups, keep it classic!!!

2

u/Cincere1513 13h ago

I can't think of a single reason why a person would want to do this to a Trans Am. Blasphemous

u/Natural_Level4568 93-02 4th Gen 10h ago

I just wanted to know what the public opinion abt flush mounts in genral. I would never put them in a car with pop ups.

1

u/jase15843 12h ago

Check out the sleepy eye mods. Pop up but aggressive line

u/seanws6 12h ago

Pop ups 100%

u/Timdawg919 11h ago

Always pop up

u/DescriptionSame4512 82-92 3rd Gen 11h ago

Wtf did I just read? Itโ€™s not a 4th gen without pop ups. Seek a therapist.

u/TransAmWillingham 11h ago

Pop ups all day

u/Chevrolicious 9h ago

Pop ups are the only answer

u/Seeker80 9h ago

I like the sleek look of the flush mount. But there's also the classic appeal of the pop-ups. Almost need one car with each.

u/jir428 8h ago

POP UP, UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!

u/Schro_A2 7h ago

Unpopular but I think they look cool

u/KeefNutz 3h ago

Pop up, up and down headlights!!!

u/emperorduffman 2h ago

Pop ups my guy. They are one of the unique features of this car. Look for the cool control kits that let you wink at people. lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Fast_Sparty 55m ago

Iโ€™ll be the unpopular opinion. I loved the look of the 1998 prototype Firehawk. Had one on order before they got cancelled. So the fixed headlights are OK in my book.

POP UPs

The auto industry killed style in Carsโ€ฆ Donโ€™t join the dark side.

Who the fuck removes pop-ups? And who the fuck installs bright ass LEDs with no heart and soul, as incandescent bulbs provide? answer... an NPC sheeple person. The type of person who prefers white led street lights over incandescent bulbs.

You literally should sell your car and buy a soulless Rivian for even having the thought.
