Firebird headlights
Not the best work, but not bad considering I used Windows Paint. 1994-1996 GTP headlights, just to keep the Pontiac thing going.

They won't fit exactly like that. They (the lamp housings) are larger than that opening so part of the lamp will be shrouded.

They will fit horizontally if the turn signal housing is chopped down as shown.
Vertically, they are simply too tall, close to ½", to fit like they belong there.
If you step them back, similar to a camaro, you could probably squeeze them in there but, the upper portion of the lamp would be shrouded.
Similar to what those half moon lamp covers people used to put on the single round lamps so they could drive w/the high beams on w/o blinding oncomming traffic.

Maybe they could be made to look good if you fabricated a new headlight door for them that was flat in the front instead of following the hood line. IDK how good or bad that'll look though.
Thanks for the info, Dead Bird.

Nah, I'm not worried about shrouding. I pland to chop down the nose indentions a little bit widen it out, make it look somewhat factory.
