Default gto headlights on a 98-02 camaro???

well i had a dude in a gto told me he saw where you could switch the gto headlights into the 98-02 camaro's, i can kinda see how you can do that, the ends of the taillights are very alike... has anyone heard this or seen a right up about it??? i think it would look really good..

yeah but if you look at one close up, it seems like it may not involve a whole lot of fab work, dont get me wrong it may take a little work..but i think it would be well worth it..

Good luck. I would like to see the end result, so go for it! And it will require A LOT more work than you think

It is enough of a PITA to get the stockers to fit flush...

They're nowhere near the same man, especially towards the grill area.

Don't look at the shape of the headlights on the camaro, instead look at the space around the headlights. Looks like it would fit like a glove if you put an angle in that smooth area. I say go for it bro. It will for sure look unique!

GTO headlights are around $500 each, so it is not a cheap option to "try out"

the only thing i think might make it look funny even after they got molded in would be the hood lines one the camaro since they mimic the headlights

one quick cheap way to see the actuall diff would be to make a cardboard template of the gto light(the face of it) then lay it over the camaro one on the car....its kinda a rough idea of what you would be in for work wise

yeah if someone could do photo shop that would be awesome...i dont think this would look bad at all, i love the look of the gto headlights, i have seen the headlights go for $300 each which is still a lot...but i think this would make my car a little different from the others.
