Anyone found Projectors yet?

I've been looking every where for projectors for the LS1 with no luck.

It seems they make them for practically every other car.
I'm so jealous you can get projectors for almost any year accord or civic, even the Cavalier but not for the Camaro!

Just wait they will come out sooner or later in the mean time I would suggest emailing one of the guys selling halo's on ebay and find out if they're any plans

humm, I have HID projectors on my 97 Camaro:-) parts are from an Audi A6. Took a lot of time and work to get those to work right! But the end result is very nice. If you have the time and skill to retrofit a pair of projectors into your own housings thats is usually the best way to get the best results. There are websites dedicated to people retrofitting HID projectors from cars like BMW and Audi into other cars.
Check out www.HIDforum.com
Lots of good info and how to's there

Although not projectors, there is a factory alternative for you. Export headlight assemblies that provide much better lighting partially due to the cutoff requirements as well as an autoleveling feature. Not as good as doing a true HID retro-fit, but a good alternative if you just plan on getting a "plug and play" HID kit.

You can read more about them in the link. I listed the part numbers and someone hosted some photos of them I had.

Yes they have the ones you want!!! and the angel eye version. Just go to Ebay and punch up "98-02 camaro" or "camaro angel eyes". I'm debating on them cause I actually bought my 2000 because of the new lights and dont want to change up the look too much.

Those arn't projectors. If you look at the pics, the chamber with the halo in is the same chamber as the outter one. It uses the same bulb, just from a distance it looks like a projector.
I can't believe those are the only headlights offered for the LS1 body style.

Thanks for the retrofit info guys.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought they were actually real projector lights but if they use the same 9005/9006 I might as well keep my OEM's. They caught my eye because of the angel eyes, but I think it might look a lil ricey on my car. But to each his own!!
