Exclamation 98+ camaro headlight assembly in a 93-97 camaro???

I was looking at the ol maro today and thought it could do with an update. Now I know this would take custom fabrication etc to do even if it would look any good which I am not sure it would or even if it would fit. maybe someone can photoshop it to give an idea....?

to answer any questions as to why someone would want to do this- less weight, better night visibility, updated/custom look, easier bulb changing, selection, etc.

I don't think you would really want to make this happen in the end, but I would think the best way about it would be to do the 98+ conversion and cut the lower portion of the 98 bumper out and fit in the lower portion of the LT1 bumper with the grill fogs. I don't see how it would be possible to simply try to integrate the 98+ headlights with the LT1 hood. I would be interested to see a photo chop, but I do not think it would look good.

Uhhh. The biggest difference visually between the front ends is the headlights. If you're going to change those, you'd have to modify the front bumper cover and hood to get them to fit.

You'd have to make the front bumper and hood more or less just like the LS1 bumper and hood. So in the end, it would be an overpriced LS1 front end swap.

That being said, you don't really need a photoshop pic you just need to look at a LS1 front end and really that is your end product,
