after alot of though ive decided to do a fourth gen interior swap, and i only got a couple parts right now. one of the ones i got is the dome light out of an 02 camaro, and i was wondering if anybody has ever swapped one of these in and if so how/any pics? im startin real slow on this project, so far all i got is a mirror, shifter and e brake handle from the same car installed but i figure if im gonna do it im going ta go all out cuz thats how i am when i start something. if no one has any ideas ill just try it myself and tell you how it goes, but thought id check here first and didnt find anything when doing a search. thanks for any help

 

I've never seen it done.

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea because of where the thirdgen dome light location vs 4th gen location. Plus, the thirdgen one helps hold up the headliner. If you put it where the 3rd gen one is then it might be better but might look out of place. I remember trying to put one in but decided not to.

I'd hate to shoot down a creative idea but not everything is swappable, like the backseat speaker panels for example.

 

I have and overhead console....but what I did do is swap in a 4th gen rear view mirrior. Those little map lights udner it really come in handy. They're bright and convienient to turn on and off.

If I were you Ide just leave the factory dome light. Maybe try to find a new lens so its nice and white instead of yellow to freshen it up.

thanks for the tips, im gonna take the third gen one off and see if theres anyway the fourth gen one would mount on cleanly but its alot wider so im not sure. i was thinking of redoing the headliner anyways and maybe this is a good time to try and work it in. ill keep you guys posted on what i find out

 

while im at it, does anyone know where to get gm color fabric? i need ebony since thats the color interior im swapping in, but if thats not doable i guess just black would work
