Im sure anything could be done, thing is tho I have my car purty much gutted, you have the cut out the back side of the dash for them to fit and the heat duct has to be pulled out as well as far as I can tell, I had it pulled before I started this.

I just used 5mm LED lights for the turns and high beam lights, I had to put them in there for state inspection here in PA, they need to work, my car might be gutted but everything is still legal on it.

like i said before anything could be done Im sure someone could do it, it just takes some work, I decided to get a second dash to work with to make it eaiser to work on. if i had a camaro to work with id think about doing it but I dont know anyone with one thats willing to give it up for as long as it takes to do it and no one wants to really hack a car up to do this. where mines more of a race car now so I dont mind cutting some stuff up in there.
