Interest Thread - 93-97 Camaro Projector Setup - Input Needed
its not the same and most of them look like garbage.. I want stock housings with nice HID projectors retrofitted so I don't have to do it.. guess that's too hard to understand

There is talk of BLS & 6LE looking into a projector setup for the 1998-2002 Camaro as well.https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...histlered.html
(see page 3 for the hint)
hopefully that works out and they team up... like I said it wouldn't be that hard for BLS to make this and there is not something exactly like I want offered already. Like I said STOCK housings with nice projectors retrofitted. Not these gay housings with LEDs and stupid **** inside the lens.

We had a few funny pics, now for the comments and shameless ttt's
This cash has been burning a hole in my pocket for so long, I got arrested for indecent exposure.
I was worried this kit would get me in trouble with the cops, but now the car is registered as an antique!
Haha, let's hear yours!
PS. BLS, I'm only teasing, patience is a virtue

Well figure its time for a few spy shots of our latest mock-up. This is not the finished design but we are getting very close. If you are curious about the headlight being in the high beam position, the reason is simply the lack of room to mount a decent projector in the low beam spot without major modification to the vehicle. This is using a bi-xenon projector in case everyone is curious. The housing will have the edges rounded along with a number of other cosmetic touches. Just wanted to let everyone know we are dedicated to getting this done.
Some fun with pic effects.

interesting...interesting...so you are saying we will have to keep our stocker light in the low beam position?
if that's the case, i wonder if there's a way to mount another set of your projectors in the low beam area in a non functional way? just to have it there to even out the looks and bring balance to the front end. it's impossible for me to think of possibilities without actually having a set of your projectors though. what is the specific problem with the low beam area? the bumper corner?
the design of the projector itself looks good though, and they will definitely be the best option as far as lighting performance for the 93-97 camaro. it's gonna be tough to pull the trigger on these if it's going to unbalance the front end looks though.

The specific problem with the low beam area is the lack of depth for the projector. If you look behind your low beam, there is very little room to allow the whole unit to sit far enough back. Moving it forward would be the solution but then you run into going beyond the hood line which will not look good from any angle. The high beam location offers enough room for the projector while allowing for adjustment and depth for the projector bowl/lamp.
When you refer to balancing the looks of the front end, that is always the challenge when installing a projector. The look is something that does not lend itself to an easy workaround. What we can do and you see one option there, is to smoke or tint the other headlight. Another could be to offer a simple plastic film with a circle cut out in the middle to simulate a projector eye. I personally would prefer the first option.
The purpose of the housing around it is to try and "square up" the projector so it flows with the rest of the front end. To us, this solutions offers the least amount of modification to the vehicle while providing the best light output for the space available.
We will still be tweaking the design for aesthetics. Wiring will be simple with a nice plug and play harness. You would simply move the replaced high beam lamp into the low beam position and swap the connections. As I mentioned already, the projector is a bixenon so you will have dual high beams to retain all lamps being functional.
