Default Do these look right?

I don't know...they seem HUGE compared to my stockers.

The thicker part doesn't appear to even fit in the bumper. The seller said they'll fit.

Here's a link to the auction. here

I didn't get a chance to take an in depth look to see how they'd fit but holding them up to the car makes me concerned.

Am I being retarded?

Those do not look right. The auction says "93-00". There are two totally different front ends in that time period. I think you need to send 'em back and tell them to get it straight. Or, get your money back and get them from Afterthoughtsauto.com---------------------------------------->>>>>

lol yeah.. those look right... like said above.. only half is shown when installed. Installed them.. you are fine.

there are 3 bolts on each... either all 10mm or 7mm I cant remember. 2 on the back and one on the bottom pointing straight up in the middle. You really gotta force them out.. just pull hard, nothing will break.. that is once you have all 3 bolts out.

True, but it looks like the stock ones actually fit in the bumper or am I wrong?

Negative, take out a headlight and you'll see how they fit, they don't go in from the front (which I'm assuming is what you're saying).

actually although the front end is different between 93 - 97 and 98-02 the signal lights are in fact the same.. just FYI. they look normal to me

There were two totally different front ends but the turn signals were indentical for all 4th gen Camaros. As everyone else was saying, half of them are hidden behind the bumper. The stock ones are the same way.

The lights from 93-02 are the same and only part of them shows. Those are right.

When my clear corners arrived, I opened the box and thought the exact same thing! They were huge and were not going to fit, no way, no how. But they fit like a glove, and I love them!
