Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

Sweet.

A couple of questions though, of course , what year Silverado ? Do they fit nice and snug or is there a gap ? And most important, can these be used in a HID application ? Or would they not be the proper ones for HIDs ?

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

that is sweet! The gap looks minimal.

I'd bet those are off 96-98 c/k chevy truck/suburban. I believe i've seen the same model light, just not the halo ones done before, sure gives it a unique look! I know you can rig up HIDs on 96-98 truck with those lights, i have one, so i bet you could do the same on a camaro.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

thanks for the comments!

i bought these off ebay. the auction says 88-94 95 96 97 98 like 88-I.R.O.C. said.

there is a bigger gap then factory but i may leave them as is. i can get close up pictures for you.

im not sure about hid. the lights came with a bulb for the projector. auction claiming no modding necessary so id imagine they are just regular lights. i just went to the j/y for the high beam bulbs.

as for the spoiler The MPI 'Bird is correct it is a fiero spoiler!

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

any chance you have a pic of the bracket to install I am going to be doing the celebrity headlights sooner or later (I have the lights just haven't had time to do anything with them) Also do you have it setup with adjuster screws on there? not positive on how that part works is why I am asking.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

lol sorry its been so long! we have a wind chill advisory of -25 so yeah. spending time outside isnt much of an option at the moment haha.

the different shapes bothers me too but its the only set i could find that had halos on both. others just had them on the low beams. this is the closest picture i have atm.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

Kind of off subject but I'm just going to throw this out there.... I just want to say the first picture of your car looks MEAN!!!! primer and all... just the way it is sitting there, a couple different colors, some dark rims... I like it.

The headlights look good too!!!

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

I hope the weather improves soon so that we can see your project finished!! Can't wait for it!
I was looking here and I found these acura integra projector that I think will fit thirdgens, would just have to get one of those headlight covers from GTS. Has anyone here tried that?

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

I wouldn't waste the money on those the auction says not rated for HID and if you are doing all the work you may as well go HID I would use either celebrity headlights or chevy truck headlight (well housings) and cut the back to use a real projector and then you have the true Halo you are looking for along with better lights. HID planet has lots of tech articles on doing a retrofit. That is what I will be doing when it finally warms up.

Hey guys, not to jack your thread UDAMON, but I found this link of a custom made projector housing that will take the FX-35/45 retrofit. It is totally custom. Check it out!

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

It's definitly different, that's for sure. The thing I don't like about them is that now you have like 4 different colored/styled lights on the front of your car. The headlights you put on the car from the Silverado has two different styles in itself, plus the off colored white fog lights, and the amber turn signals. It's kind of busy looking.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

I think this is one of the better mods I've seen on a 3rd Gen. I've looked at that picture a hundred times now and still never get tired of it. Those oval lights are a huge improvement over the 80's style rectangles.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

here are some more pictures of how they are mounted.





there is some gap but i think the flash makes it look worse then it does in person




i carved out the header panel but left the top and bottom intact. used two bolts for up top and one screw to hold the bottom. they are pretty solid.





the red are the mounting bolts and screw and the blue are the headlight adjustment screws.




hopefully i can finish the wiring this week and have some shots at night.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

This is the exact kind of innovation I like to see on Thirdgens to help keep them alive! Good work!

And while I'm personally more for the old school look, maybe retrofitted with HID's... she still looks good!

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

I think that looks awesome. I've been thinking about doing one-piece lights on my 88 for a while now...this just might push me over the edge to do it.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

Throw some paint and some wheels on that thing and you will have one of a kind.

I have mixed thoughts now because they seem to lack illumination. Post more pics though, will definitely add 2 gallery.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

those look really nice. hows the spread for the high beams? by spread i mean, when you turn them on how much light do you get on the side of the car? basically how wide is the beam? can you see towards the ditch or is it just bright directly in front of you.

wow that was hard for me to say :\ guess i dont know how to talk.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

That looks pretty good. I'm sure the fact that they're black housings hides the gaps much better though. If the were regular reflective housings they may look better with headlight covers.

Re: 1 piece headlight mod.

I didnt like them at first, but without the fog lights it works very well. With how dark your headlights are it makes your car look MEAN. Consider smoking/tinting your parking lights. They're such nice lights it'd be a shame to cover em up... but I think the best look would jsut be get some stock lights and put some black lens covers on em. I think it'd really take it over the top.

I personally like the stock look just fine so I probably wont change mine, but mine have upgraded housings and bulbs in them anyway... nothing as nice as yours though. I'm also happy to see how cool it looks to have that grille with no fog lights. I think I'm gonna pull mine off tomorrow actually after seeing yours.
