anything is possible. There was a guy on here who put sunfire headlights on his firebird.

You'll have to modify the hood and the frame across the front of the car possibly. The 1980 Corvette Headlights look much bigger.

It might be easier to just get a couple of round lights out of something and try mounting them in the 'birds headlight frames... that way you wouldnt have to change the hood and maybe the front fascia.... dont know where you would find round headlights that small though... maybe a couple of those led flashlights?

I'm sure 1 standard round headlight would fit in there. If you have 91-92 you then take out all the extra stuff for your smaller 91-92 headlight.

you could probably modify PIAA driving lights somehow to fit in the factory closure and those things are bright as hell.
