Have not met anyone who was happy with their light output who owned an LT1 camaro AND have owned something else with better headlights.

I would be better off taping my maglight to the front of my car instead of using the stock lights. Even my 69 has better headlights lol

IMO it would look 100x better with a silver or reflective mirror type coating, so it looks closer to stock.

The product does look very well designed, good work!

No you don't, not compared to a good projector.

Likely right into the new year. Testing must be done to finalize everything.

Thank you! We have not forgotten about the LS1 cars.

Thank you and we did consider a reflective coating or something to mimic the look of a factory headlight even more. There is a local guy that does real nice vinyl work so we may solicit him to see if he can make something for the inside of the housing behind the clear lens. I'm not sure if it would make them look "cheap" but now that these are done, its simple to see how it looks.

Not bashing at all:

it looks kinda goofy, but I'm stoked that you were able to retrofit this for the Camaros.

I would definitely buy a set if I got a camaro.


EDIT: just read the post about trying to get them to look more stock. I believe it is the black housing that makes them look off, and I usually like the black housings.

A very small bi-xenon projector called the matchbox but goes by different names through various vendors.

Options will include either just the 2 housings or all 4 with their choice of HID lamp temp. We can also offer the housings unassembled in case some would prefer to paint them or do whatever they wish. To save some cost, they can also be offered minus the HID kit if the customer wishes to source this themselves.

No harm done and I'm confident with these installed, they will look much better than freestanding in a picture. The headlight area on these cars are black so I believe it will blend in well.

Just put two projectors in each housing!
That might solve the, "too much black" problem too.
