The mid 90's Camaros had small headlights that might fit into modified buckets or into the holes in the bumper.

Re: The headlights - That newer gen bumper appears to be high enough off the ground (check your local laws) that you could just install highs and lows in there, and remove the upper headlights altogether, facilitating a partial grille block and an upper aero enhancement.

There is a thread on here where someone did lights on a Honda Accord. They look kind of like the ones that you want in that picture above. I think it's in the list of mods on the links in the header.

Hey, I never said it was an original idea... LOL.

So, the second one is the one I was thinking of for you... the froggy one, probably not safe... or legal?

the first one is real the second is a chop and the frog is making fun of the "frog lights" on the stock car.

my uncle has a junk yard with loads of pontiacs... time to go steal some lights.

That's a damn good chop!

The second one, make sure you still have front corner lights, though. It's a legal issue if you don't have lights in the front to indicate turns.

You should weigh them while they are out, I bet it is heavy.
