Halo's are a bit large, only thing I don't like. The headlight size looks fine just not the size of those Halo's, otherwise great work and everything else looks great as far as stock appearance, fitment and originality.

-Take care

Great work man!!! I was thinking about going w/ some halos for my 4th gen. I never knew they were an option for my 3rd!

All the brou-ha-ha over on the "can I cut this" can be terminated.
Now that I've seen it let me add my final

That structure is VERY important to the overall strength of the
entire front end. Were it me, I would look to fab some kind of brace
to bolt-on over the headlight structure.
Very easy insurance.

This kinda makes me regret that I have the bird pop-up's.

Your car convinced me to ditch my fog lights... Just wanted you to know that...

Now you just need some of those fancy parking lights off ebay. They'd look amazing with those headlights.

I personally like the stock style headlights a lot... but I guess I'm in the minority. However I do like your idea. Looks awesome and definitely looks way better than I expected it to. Great idea!

Does the headlight wiring heat up? I've heard some guys do a H4 conversion and say the wiring get hot......thoughts?

aeffertz

Wow. That definitely makes the car look a lot more modern. Very nice!

BadBowtie88

I think it looks awesome man. Great job indeed. At least people can know that it can be done, and be done well. Again great work, looks awesome!

So how exactly did you mount the housing? I can't see any bolts or screws.

Yeah, a write isn't necessary, but some suggestion would be nice.

Looks sweet dude!! Im doing this!
How do you adjust the angle of the lights I would hate to do this and have them blinding everyone on the road

ThePain

Amazing, simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I've been planning to get new headlights, but this might be the only way to go! I simply love it. Only thing I will say is the left side of your hood seems to stick up a bit, maybe it's just the pictures, kinda disappointing... but still not bad at all.

I'll say it... A writeup would make you the man!

Polo_Green92RS

I must say I light the BMW headlight conversion better then the silverado headlight conversion seems to fill in a quite a bit better but the one I like most is the lights on the camaro in the sig of pwdbychevy

HAHAHA Great pictures KnightmareCS LOL!!

This past weekend i made some covers for the headlights. Now you cant see the cuts i made in the front rad support. It also keeps my lights bolted to the car. Looks really Clean and factory! I will post some pictures later this week.

The hood does stick up a little but nothing i would worry about. You wouldnt notice till i told you were to look. This mod does take some "*****" to do. You have to measure 4 times and cut once. I had a great friend help me out on this. I gave him a nickname "Foose" hahah. The headlights have adjustments on them already. REALLY easy to adjust. I havent adjusted them the way it suppose to be but it works and im not blinding anyone.

PM me if you have any questions.

PS. I took a shot in the dark with this headlight mod. Looks like i hit the target straight on

ok fine... i have comments... but before i S**T on your parade..

I looks GREAT, I really do like it...

now, ARE YOU F**KIN NUTS? these are UNIBODY cars! that piece of core support you cut out is VERY important to structure!! now that you have cut that corner out, you have made that core support USELSS! your frame rails are now MUCH more suceptible to twisting as well! and if you dont believe me i can show you the damage on my 85 from not having the triagular braces installed, not only did my driver side frame rail crack, but it tore all the spot welds around the puttom of the strut tower off! you MUST get something in there to brace that core support, GM did not make it a boxed structure just to get rid of some extra steel! and on top of that, if you're ever in a colision you;re going to suffer WAY more damage than many others!

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

thanks for your input but I will cross that bridge when I get to it! I didn't cut all the metal out! There is still support. Plus it's been 2months of intense driving, drag racing, pot holes, speed bumps. Car seems fine and working order plus it's not my daily driver . Thanks for your concern! I will try to make it even stronger

id agree with the other member that suggested bolt on plates, id do that at the minimum, everything will look just fine, then one day all of a sudden you'll notice a popping sound when you turn the wheel, i went out and looked and my spot welds all broke and the frame rail cracked. but it does look good, if you brace it up properly i think it will be a good mod, AND RUST GUARD IT!

Looks great man, how long did it take you, and what is the extent of the mods needed?

U.S.Marine09

can anyone tell me exactly how he did te wiring for this i reallly wanna do this mod but i dont want to eff something up

Downshift

That looks really good.

Wolnam

I dont know...maybe its just me....but your passenger side sems to be riding a bit high where it meets the fender. The mod looks great and goodjob and making it happne. Its nothing im going to be doing to mine anytime soon. Looks good...its just not for me.

Iroc-Z28Man

Awesome work, these headlights look awesome. It gives your car such a mean look to it. It would be very intimidating if i saw it in my rearveiw mirror.

cIaRmOaCrZo

very very nice man. how much were the lights? did u say u got em off ebay? or junk yard?

Polo_Green92RS

I have an idea not sure if it would make a difference, but what if u cut the whole end, move it the inch or 2 u need to get the headlights to fit weld it back on and put a small piece of metal on the back side of the core support on the top and bottom of each side for strength. It would be a little more time consuming because u would have to take the core support out to cut it unless u have a core support laying around the garage.

Chevy8588

iTrader: (1)

well that would conflict with the battery as well as mavy other components alignment

Polo_Green92RS

ahh yea that's true it was a good thought though. Although you could relocate the battery the the rear or do some mods I did say it would be time consuming. If there is a will there is a way maybe I'll mess around with that whenever I am able to work on mine I have a spare in my dad's garage that I could prob do the cuts to at some point I would just need the measurements of how far to move it back.

same here... sorry. nice work but i think it ruins the whole car...

those pics do your work more justice... looks way better in these. really updates the look! i kinda dig it, but i wouldn't do it on mine.

Thanks man! I saw the other pics that i posted up and figured that these would looks so much better!

I like the look, but how is the performance.
Got a pic of both projector beams(on the road)?
Hows the cut off look(on a wall)?
Id only do that much cutting if the lighting out performed the looks & i would brace the core support.
Nice work though.

more aerodynamic than the std. 4x6's. performs--per square inch, more light, likely less watt consumption, and the coolness factor is there!! WONDER what they would look like in the black headlight pockets for the 90+ models. Someone should photochop it. kicka$$

most recent pics do look great!

oscarsrs

Dammand i was almost 99% sure i wanted my car painted black now am back to square 1great looking car man nice job !

ToeKutter

Very nice! You're making me want to get back to my poor camaro that's been sitting in front of my house & rusting! Thanks for posting!

where did you get the euro lights?

got them off Ebay

mos68x

I must admit that I really like the way these look. I didn't at first but the more I looked at the pictures the more I think that I want to do it. I do agree with the importance of this structural part of the car so I will at least try to do my best to do it without actually cutting anything out. If I find that I can't then I'll make a brace to around and over the cut part of it and weld it in.

Can you take close up pics of the area that you cut out? And perhaps a shot to see how much the headlight assemblies don't clear the top of the part that you cut.

ThePain

It looks great, but I think it would be better with out the low-profiles.


Just my of course

mc84_zz4

I think the mod looks cool as hell, great job, and thanks for blazing the trail, hacking up part of the car and headlights is a one way street.

aeroocoupe

just have to say awesome!!!!!!!!!

weswisehart

Nice makes my 4x6 halo's look like crap.

mos68x

Ramair21, can you take some detailed pics to make a how-to? Or at least enough so that I can do this with as little cutting as possible?

Thanks
