I wonder what it would take to install 2010 camaro headlights in a third gen.I have never seen the halo lights in person to estimate mods needed.Anyone ever seen this done? this could end up being really cool if done right

I don't think round lights of any kind would look good on the straight lines of a 3rd gen Camaro.

You'd would have to measure the height of the 2010 lights. They look too big to fit.

There have been threads about guys who put rounds lights on their car but it would TAKE A LOT of work to make them look good.

I dont know about the 2010 Camaro lights, but this thread might interest you with the angel eye version.

I saw a really ugly Third Gen here in Dubai where someone put a 2010 front end and rear end on it. It looked like total ****.

You mean this? I think it looks okay.

A REAL car, or just a drawing, like above?

Dunno, the 2010 Camaro headlights sit in a square frame. I agree it would have to be done right for it to look good though.

I think that looks good! I would buy it if someone would make it.

please dont give him bad ideas, yea that mod looks great at the cost of much needed structural integrity in our already extremly loose bodied cars

Im going with the BMW E-36 angle eye cause I can reweld a small brace to reinforce the removed structure and I love the look!

well i seen one here in missouri and the lights look sweet .also they are not completly round more oval i think and a little square i dunno maybe im seeing it wrong but thats the shape i get.

Please explain.

aren't you aware of how loose the F-Body is? they flex, ALOT, and that upper core support is key a key support in preventing flex in the front end, cut away 3/4 of that and what are you left with? frame rails that can flex and possible break away

Lets say the damage is done, what would you do to correct the structure short of removing the lights and just re welding the orig. piece back in?
Any suggested bracing that would get the job done?(eg.triangulating rad support to body/frame?)

I think that would be one of the best mod you could do to a 3rd gen as far as a bolt on body kit or so.

Tony.

I love that mod might have to do it soon... As far as cutting the rad support, if your really that worried about the frame flexing flip the piece you cut out upside down and weld it back in use it as a lower mount for the housing and boxing in the sides would also reinforce the structure. That way you can have your angel eyes and not sacrifice rigidity.


And as for the 5th Gen Kit on the 3rd Gen I'd do it but only if I could put an LS9 under there and a 6 speed.


I'll be here all week!!!

LS9/T56 in just about anything would be cool with me!

Honestly I would make a bolt on plate that would wrap around the back of the cut areas, I would definately invest in a wonder bar and strut tower brace. And look if you have the three triangular braces for the frame rails. And lastly sfc's will help stiffen the entire car

i REALLY want to see this done. i think it would look good if someone could mod it so the blinkers could be moved next to it in the headlight well to fill in the gap.

or better yet, fog lights instead of blinkers.

What's wrong with the thirdgen design? Everyone always tries to mod it into something it isn't, frankenmaro, BMW, 5th gen. It's a thirdgen, enjoy it for the timeless design that it has.

Picked up some Silverstars and called it a day.

Perfectly said!

Because not everyone is a Stock Nazi. People who mod their cars are just adding their on flair/style to it. It's an expressive art form.

I like doing things that sets my car apart from everyone else. I'm adding projector HIDs too mine in a couple weeks. Already modified everything else to LEDs. I like giving my car more modern features.

I'm not really a fan of what was mentioned here, but if the OP thinks he can do it and make it look good. All the power too him, hope he posts pics if he's able to do it.
