Looking for a 93-97 Camaro - Headlight Retro Opp.

As some of you may know, I have been successful in retrofitting projector headlights into Firebirds.

There are a lot of people who own 93-97 Camaro's requesting something be made for them. This may be a business venture I may look into but I haven't had the time or a car to do the proper measurements and see what can and can't work.

Anyone in my area interested in hanging with me for a day(2-3 hours) and allowing me to tinker with their headlights?

You know I was looking at the part numbers for LT1 firebirds and the ones for third gen Camaros look very similar in size, only LT1 Birds have a dual beam. Third gens could turn the insides to some sort of snorkle set up.

Yea they are similar in size and could do a separate high and low setup fairly easily. The market size is the biggest issue.

I've seen this and I think it could be done better along with different projectors.

I agree. There needs to be some rectangular definition to make it work.

This weekend is too soon for me as I am working on another project. I got a bunch of responses so I will see what works best for both parties. I will let you know!
