I was looking at these headlights and if you look close it looks like its a glass outside it. then i found out that these are 98+ lights





How do you get these lights to work with a 93-97?

 

The guy who did this project modified it to fit the LT1 bucket. The pics were originally pulled from the following: HERE. Unfortunately, the pics don't go in to any great detail on how he modified everything to fit. A writeup would have been nice. This same topic has been discussed in another thread here, on LTXtech, and LS1tech. I didn't follow them the whole time, but there might be some hints in one of them if you feel like trying it.

 

I've asked the guy who took the pics to take a pic of how they are mounted and he's ignored me.

I bet they are just mounted with zip ties and look like crap, which is why he won't show us.

 

Thanks alot!!!! personally i dont care if its zip tied inside as long as it holds, and looks good on the outside

 

this winter I will be doing everything I can to do this, and I have taken measurements from an LS1 car and believe I can make everything fit.

 

I thought someone said he used LS1 brackets.

 

say you bought a set of these. 1. are the wiring harnesses the same? for a 93-97 and 2. could you modify the harness to just plug right in. 3. would they work the same?

 

yes the wiring harnesses is the same. you can actually take the stock bulbs out and silicone in 9006/9005 or HIDs, or buy the conversion kit form eurolights.com

 

nobody knows what the guy that has already done it did, but I will be using a complete LS1 header panel in my swap

 

If you could make them fit in there without permanently destroying them factory setup I would possibly consider doing this. I'm a fan of zip ties as well, as long as it hold and doesnt vibrate over every bump it works for me.

 

With zip ties its harder to get them to stay in place and not move...i can imagine that if they are in fact zip-tied in then they must move a little- plus it sucks having to cut 10 zip ties eveytime you need to change a bulb out or move them for one reason or another.

And being projector any vibration or movement is going to be really noticable on the road...

I thought about using LS1 headlights but didn't think they would fit in the LT1 bucket and look like the factory put them there....The inside corner might match the inner bucket profile but the outer corner wouldn't match without some work...I would want them to look good with the hood closed and with the hood open as well.
