Pop-Up Headlight Delete Kit -(BraveTECH)

Hi Everyone,

My small business is BraveTECH Custom Electronics.
Website: https://bravetech.ca

I just wanted to share a project that I have been working on for a while. This kit was designed for a customer to delete his pop-up headlights. I have very limited stock, as they are a new product.

Features:
- Direct Bolt-On
- Fully Plug and Play
- 7000K High / Low Beams (Version 1.0 is slightly brighter than OEM)
- Sequential Turn Signals
- Red Halo Lighting (Remote Controlled)

Re: Pop-Up Headlight Delete Kit -(BraveTECH)

That is SLICK!
Not sure if you know but the outside curve of the headlight is different between early 80s and late 80s Firebirds. 82-84 are more square.
Wish these were available a year ago. Could’ve deleted my headlights all together and then squared off my hood with no headlight notches. Ugh - so tempting!!

Too cool! I like them, but still like my pop-ups because no one does them anymore.

Re: Pop-Up Headlight Delete Kit -(BraveTECH)

Did you only design the website for mobile? It's practically unreadable using chrome on windows10.

Looks like a really cool product. Can't wait to see it installed on some cars.

Re: Pop-Up Headlight Delete Kit -(BraveTECH)

Could you make it with just the turn signals?
I'd be a buyer for that.

Hi there,

Sorry for the late reply! I didn't receive any notifications on my posts for some reason.

I'm glad you like them!

I didn't know that the early models had a more squared shape. I will likely have to make a version for them, in the future. Thank you very much for letting me know!

Please let me know if you have any questions =)

Hi there,

Haha Sorry about that. I've never designed a website before. I will clean it up, once I have some free time.

I really appreciate your feedback!

Hi Alan,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you very much!

I do apologize, they take about 2 weeks to build so the waiting list is getting a bit long. I can definitely add you to the list, if you wish =)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Carlos,

Sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately, they take about 2 weeks to build a set. I've decided to use a waiting list for the item, to help prevent people from needing to check the website for availability. The list is getting a bit long but I can definitely add you, if you wish.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Pop-Up Headlight Delete Kit -(BraveTECH)

Went to the website, looks like out of stock. Still making these?

This honestly are the best ones I've seen for these cars. Wicked cool.

My only question now is, could one buy a hood without the headlamp cutouts? That would make a nice clean look!

I agree. If these were available for the 82-84 models I'd definitely get some and modify my hood to fill in the cut outs.

How do you aim these and what does the beam pattern look like?

Why wouldn't they work on 82-84 ? The youtube video says 82-90. Not sure why the website says 85-90.

They will probably fit 82-84 birds but won’t look right. See this post for why:
