I figured it would get more notice here than in a "I can't find..." thread in the Body and Interior section. Aftermarket clear parking lights are now available for 85-92 camaros! Here's the link: http://www.racerwheel.com/rt101101.html


Here they are installed on my car...



Everyone should get a set. They look 100x better than stock.

LOOKS SWEET! I think I will get some when I paint next year.

camaroguy21, what bulbs are you running in your H4 conversions? Do your headlights put off a ton of heat? How is the beam pattern?

Those clear park/turn signals look awesome, thanks for posting pics. If you have a chance, and get more pictures, could you post them as well?

very interesting.. got any more shots from different angles?

black84z28-4spd

awesome....i am buying some!

camaroguy21

Thanks for the quick replies guys. The headlights I bought off e-bay and I'm running the bulbs (blue ones ) that came with them. They don't put off that much heat though, and the beam pattern is excellent.

That's the only picture I have for now. Batteries ran out. Five minutes after that picture was taken the car was covered with four layers of tree pollen. Oak trees. I'll try to post some more pictures later this week.

black84z28-4spd

take a bunch of them....that is the only thing killing my front end is the ****ty old parking lights

camaroguy21

lol, it's just the opposite for me. With the new lights on my fogs look ugly as sin. Where did you get yours?

black84z28-4spd

autozone....they were $40 and they work really good!


the bulbs are brighter than the headlights

the picture of them on the car is not working looks like they would be badass though, how much was shipping?

The picture of them on your car is working fine for me... If you do get some pics of them at different angles, PLEASE post them, I'm a few pics away from getting them myself.

What a difference.

hotrod87camaro

hmm, its working for me now too it was a red x and i clicked show picture and the x went away but the picture didn't show up. oh well, its there now, looks good, i wonder how they would look on a white car. also interested in seeing more angles as i will probably be buying some too

camaroguy21

I'll be tied up for the next couple days plus the car will need a bath, but I should be able to get you guys some more shots late Thursday. Trust me though, you will not be disappointed in the appearance of these lights.

Oh, shipping was $10.

What would it do to mount some of these on an 82 Camaro?

Because I like..

darkhorse91

are those bulbs removeable or is it sealed?

If I had some of those I would like to get the bulbs with the silver coating so you don't see the yellow but that is still a huge improvement

camarobeast84

iTrader: (1)

They are removable, and the bulbs your're looking for are the silverstar replacements.

As for putting these lights on an 82, I believe you'd have to switch to a 85-92 front bumper cover. That's what I did on my 84', but then again my bumper cover needed to be replaced anyway.

hotrod87camaro

i would get LED's personally

What kind of headlights are those? I really like the look and dont do much ebay shopping, so is there anywhere i can get them besides ebay. or i will buy them from ebay if its cheaper.

slammed_z

i really like those

Justin Horne

Considering I have to do that soon anyway, I may just. Sounds good. Would this just clip right on like normal?

iTrader: (5)

I like them, I'd have to see more pics but my first impression is real good. Get those pics up!

JBert

I definitely like them. Need a better general front shot of the car.

hotrod87camaro

they look so good that i ordered some the other night

Jza

Cleanest way would be to swap to a >=85 fascia...

85maroz28

I have similar parking lights but mine are homemade! I am surprised to see someone making them in the aftermarket. They seem to be of good quality but I am also going to have too see some more pictures......

jcurrieirocz

yep me 2 ive made my own...its cool to see them on ebay now but there too pricey right now...theylll have to come down quite abit before ill buy em.

and if anyone has an extra h4 houseing i need one one of mine broke. Also looking for another neon blue h4 light bulb (actually has a hint of blue in the color while on,,, you know the illigal ones)

hotrod87camaro

i got mine today but they don't fit. apparently sport coupes without ground effects have a different size parking lights. just another reason to get ground effects now, they look pretty nice though.

camaroguy21

Sorry about not getting more pictures sooner. TGO went down and then I went on vaction. Here's one for now.. I'll try and get more up soon but cardomain is going so slow right now.
----------
Are you certain the bumpers are different on an 87 SC? I had a little trouble getting mine to fit as well. Try flipping them around and putting them in at different angles. Good luck.

Gr89RS

iTrader: (5)

Wow, that pic just sold me on them. When you do get around to taking more, a shot from the front taken from around ground level would be great!

Camaroguy18

yea you should have researched a little more to prevent that problem. All sportcoupes have a different front bumper - thus giving them smaller parking lights (you can tell by those three inlets on the middle part)....just swap for a 85-90 (z28/iroc) bumper and you'll be set

sgt0704

update your front end to a 85-up. you could probably pick one up hella cheap. and those lights are way cheaper than getting new replacement ones from the dealer i paid 95 bucks for mine about 2 years ago.

camaroguy21

Here's another...

Oh, here's a link to my cardomain site. I just updated it... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/638668/4

hotrod87camaro

mines an 87 but i didn't realize they were different because their website just said 85-92 camaro. i planned on eventually getting a new bumper cover with ground effects because my front bumper cover needs replaced anyways.
----------
yeah, the new ones are about an inch longer
----------
91-92 would work too right?

Gr89RS

iTrader: (5)

85-92 iroc's, z28's, and rs use the same bumper cover. The ground effects are what differ between the years.

hotrod87camaro

ok thats what i thought.

jcurrieirocz

those are expencive you could proably find the bumper localy used for cheaper then you paid for the lights good stuff!!

camarobeast84

Do you have any pics of the car from the front that show both the lights?

camaroguy21

I could get a pic for you of the entire car but it would probably make me cry. I was driving down the interstate last week during rush hour doing 70mph. Someone's hubcap shot from two or three lanes over like a missle bounced up and hit the nose and the base of the hood. As it flew back over the car it just barely missed the windshield and roof. Needless to say, they will need repainting. I'm not sure if I'll just have the hood and nose done, or if I'll have the car completely repainted. Regardless, I will most likely not keep the heritage stripes on the hood. I'll definately have some white incoperated on the scoop though. I'm also going to finally have the car lowered. As soon as both of these projects are finished I'll post plenty of pics of the car. You can look forward to seeing pictures of my interior soon though. There will be one thing in my install that will in my opinion, drastically improve the look of a thirdgen F-body's interior.

Dammit! I just dropped $100 on new GM parking lights...

camarobeast84

iTrader: (1)

Just some advice, if you are going to have the hood and front bumper repainted, then do the whole car. If you can afford it, then you'll be much happier. They can always try to blend the new paint into the old, but it won't quite look right. Trust me, I know from experience! As far as the pics I asked for, I'm wanting to get a set of those park/turn signals for my car, but I need one more view of yours showing both from the front to make up my mind. If it's not too much trouble, I'd really appreciate it!

You could have gotten aftermarket stock style for $50 on ebay too.

Justin Horne

All right, so it's time for me to buy a new bumper and front side panel.. Since I love hese lights, and the look of the newer front ends, I'll update it to an 89 or whatever..
Do the newer front ends just copnnect like normal? Are there any gaps on the sides where the front fenders are and such? Hood lceranaces?

SO, essentially I'm asking, is it a direct swap on my 1982 Z28 to a post 85 front bumper?

shawn18jgr

iTrader: (1)

Thats HOTT! Im getting me a set! WOW...Now I need some clear side markers.

QUESTION****

How do you take the old ones out? Thanks, Shawn

DJCobol

The front ones? Reach up behind the bumper where the lights are with a 10mm deep well socket. There are 2 per light. After taking the nut off, push the light out the front of the bumper.

L.I.N.Y.92CAMARO

Hey I am going to be buying the headlight conversion off ebay tonight, the one that replaces your sealed headlight into a H4 headlight. After installing these i will be putting HID's in the casing. My question is the H4 bulb is a hi/lo beam bulb while stock we have one low beam and one high beam bulb on or cars so i will have 4 low beams and 4 high beams now?

If anyone can clear this up for me i would greatly appreciated it

black84z28-4spd

if you wire it the right way it will work just like stock


i am waiting on my set
