While I'm welding up the front bumper, I'm probably just going to weld in a flange around the headlight area and black out the edges of a piece of lexan to bolt in over the stock headlight area.

It's a 1992 RS 3.1V6 4 speed auto. The image is not my car.

Holes in the cover would not be "straight in" as you suggest. Look at the integra's headlights - they follow the contour of the front end while aiming straight. They'd do the same thing in the addition to the Camaro bumper, but I don't like the look of them on the squarish front end of the Camaro.

I'll probably also do the flange thing for the grille block once I'm comfortable with blocking the whole thing off. Flange, blacked out edges on a piece of lexan (or black urethane, piece of coroplast, etc.) with exposed screws, since I like that look when done correctly.

When I replace the headlights, I'm probably going to wire them up direct to the battery with a solenoid on a switch to power them, since the stalk switch doesn't work anyway. Hi's would be switched on by flipping another switch on the dash, unless I can find another multi-switch cheap enough. (Junkyard has a couple, might see about grabbing one first).
