Hid Retrofit. Has anyone ever done a hid retrofit (PROJECTOR) or know of a site for reference. I have found sites for other cars, I need a site for a camaro headlight. I have two hid projectors and I want retrofit them in the camaro headlight. Any info will help.
i have seen it done, the back of the light was cut out, a perfect circle where the light bulbs are, then it was installed with some kind of silcone sealant that also holds very well in high temps.. It looks awesome.. Maybe someone on here will chime in and give you the website, I thought about doing it with my regular lights!

Anyone try this on a Trans Am/Formula? I have a 1996 Formula and I was thinking of doing this. The stock headlights are just horrible and this would be a great improvement.
If anyone has a link to a thread on this forum, please post that. I have tried to search, but nothing.
Thanks, Greg

and now hi is installing the same Vette C6 projectors on his 99 TA... i´ll ask him for pics
are all 4 lights HIDs? that must have been a GRIP! i'm guessing you cut the back of the housing. what did you use to seal it, if you did? let's see some night pics. very nice work.

but maybe in the future i change those h9 bulbs for a plug and play HID h9 and some HID foglights, dont know yet!what did i use? well i dont remember the name but its seal!! and besides of sealing it, it help to hold the projector to the headlamp!!
and tonight i´ll get the pics!!

time?? like 6 to 8 hrs maybe but to me was a little bit longer, coz i burn one headlamp and have to go and buy a new one
but its oks at the end when i turn on the ligths, i forgot about the burned headlamp jeje money: mmm 500dls with a friend of mine!
Soulpower, why did you choose the C6 lights? Are they good units, do you know who makes them? Maybe you got a good deal on them so that's why you used them? I'm curious because they are new and I don't know what lights these are nor can there be many available used. Did you get them new?
I don't know if it would be worth the $300 to do it. I've seen people add white bulbs to it and it looked nice and white. It's also hard to say if there is a HID bulb available that would fit in the socket. Do you know what bulb size it takes?
