Default wrapping up my ls1 frontend conversion

Ok I have the body covered, bought the fenders,hood, front bumper all OEM as well. I'm waiting on a absorption pad, cause unfortunately the guy I bought the impact bar from sold the pad previously and he's on back order for one.

All I need is the wiring to the headlights and foglights. Does anyone have an idea where I can find something like this. I've looked over ebay but maybe I didn't look in the right place. I've been very lucky finding everything online, but it looks like now I might be hitting the bone yard. I know a few guys here have been through this already where did you go for the wiring.

whoa, so hold on a sec I can use my LT1 setup? I heard so many people talking about getting the 98+ wiring for the headlights and foglights. Is it ok to run the new headlights in it tho, it's not like I'm going to fry any wires right? Last thing I need is a fire on my hands.

Hey dude would you mine snapping a pic whenever you get a chance. I just want to see how the halos hook up. It's just that one electric connector?

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the LT1 front end looks absolutely killer if you replace the stock headlights with round PIAA or Hella driving lights. Just like Brent Franker's Z28 from camaroz28.com

then you will be like all the jackasses on the road that think brighter lights are better than properly aimed and properly designed headlights.
