yes they can. im not sure about this because i dont have projectors, but i think that they use a different bulb than the stock camaro headlights. the camaro uses a 9006 bulb for low-beam but i think the projectors use H4 bulbs. dont quote me though. but whatever kind of bulb it is, u can get it in a HID kit and use them in the projectors.

I would think a good way to do it would be get the projectors then once you have them see exactly the type of bulb used. Then get the appropriate HID kit.

Well, I know that they make 9006 HID bulbs, so I guess I'll go ahead and try this out. Thanks!

Most of the projector style headlights seem to use H3 bulbs, but on all of those auctions it has the bulb size listed in the description, so just look at the ones you like, and order the appropriate HID kit.
