Camaro Projectors #2 Ok well did a lot of research before I started the second set, and it has more than paid off.
These are about 75% done. I just finished getting them aimed correctly and they are beautiful. I may end up keeping the first set
Now I have to secure and silicone them, make a bezel to go around the projector, then put them back together. These are going to be usking 6000K HID's and I've even fabbed the projectors to fit 9006 HID's since I already have 2 kits here.
Here are some rough pictures, Im going to try and finish them off tomorrow and get some pics tomorrow night. Give me some feedback, good/bad whatever!

In all honesty they turned out a lot lot lot better than I expected. Very happy with them!

Once you get this sorted out you will become a Camaro Headlight Hero. You know that don't you? 
I'll swap them Halo's out in a hurry for another cool looking head light option.

As long as you have the 9006 HID kit then yes that is possible since I can make these to fit 9006's fairly easily. BUT they must use HID's, these projectors won't work with regular halogen bulbs.

Pricewise honestly no idea yet, I need to make sure they work as expected first. They won't be cheap though

Quality comes at a cost

As for the price, i'm more than willing to pay for a quality product.

looking better than the previous set, the E46 projectors are pretty damn nice and would fit in there a lot better. I wish I had the room to work with like the Camaro's have! I'm having a hell of time trying to figure out a way to make the projector fit in the space provided while keeping it fully sealed. Sounds easy but way harder than I imagined.....whoever engineered the lighting for LT1s can kiss my @$$. Keep us updated! If I were to someday get a SS or Z28 I'll want a pair of these!

Looking pretty good, man. What projector is that? I'm thinking of doing another set eventually and might go with somethign different than the Hella 90mm ones I used.
DirtyBird- look for a guy named Jon Broomfield. I forget what his screen name is, but he did a set on a 01 Firehawk maybe a year ago. I know they're different than the LT1 headlights, but it might help you out....

The LT1 Firebird lights are a whole different story than the LS1 ones.
There's been a lot of people put projectors into the LS1's. I know of several as it's not too hard. The LT1 though is really shallow and combines the high and low beams together. I know of only one guy to mount them and he had to cut into the metal behind the lights. E-mail me if you want pics.
