it seems easier to stuff a ls1 headlight in there than to bring it out. idk, i guess ill hafta see when i pull mine apart!
The sunken look makes it more "mean" IMO. That's why I stuck with the recessed lights on my pickup.
So, when are you doing this? I like it, just want an idea of what hurdles I may face if I go through with it. I'm planning to buy my old 95 camaro back this month and never really liked the lights...Quote:

That does look good... much better than the round lights.
Does anyone think it would look good to wrap the high beams in tint? maybe so it'd look like just one light on each side? i'm just looking for a way to freshen up the front end... lol i've run out of appearance things to do to my car.

They aren't a direct fit by any means.Quote:

yup. thats what im planning on doing. ill be sure to do a wrte up. who wants to donate some parts!!!
It would be intresting to see how they would look on the car.....but i guess im just wierd. I HAD a 99 camaro....halo's and i threw those to the curb for a set of Whistler modded headlights.....id do that before i would EVER go projector or halo headlights. They just look cheap and something that belongs in F&F Tokyo Drift to me. But like i said gents, thats just my opinion.
Any updates on installing the LS1 lights?
Just wondering as I'll probably be tearing into my car in the next couple months and I'm trying to decide if I want to add these to my to do list.
regardless the lights will be sank in the buckets just like our normal head lights. i would imagine lighting still wouldn't be that great. that's the killer here really.Quote:

There are a multitude of people (as previously posted) that have fabbed some sort of Hella 90mm into the place of the factory housings, but no plug and play system exists.
I started the thread on CZ28.com years ago about it and thus started the original fury which ended up getting the company "Focus Tech" interested in them. They later backed out of the original idea claiming too much cost was involved to start the moldings. This was where the quote came in the first post in this thread.
Fastbird and I even tried taking this on for a while, but got stopped when we couldn't find any housings to put around the projectors. This compounded with the difficulty of actually designing and producing something that will look attractive and produce great light quality all in the relatively small housing areas that are on the 93-97 F-body was almost too much. It became too much when my career kicked off and am now bogged down working 12+ hours a day that also requires work when I get home and even on weekends. When I am done with this phase of my career (in about 12 more months), perhaps Fastbird and I will start the project back up.
In the mean time there is a company which just started producing custom projectors for the 98-02 Firebirds that I am attempting to convince to produce something similar for the 93-97 Camaro's. They are very swamped with the over-abundance of orders for their new product, and I doubt they try to take on something new, at least right now. If you want to check out the thread and help the cause by posting your interest in the production of something similar for us 93-97 Camaro's, heres the link; http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/appear...-retro-gp.html
