i was wondering if i could take the headlight brackets from a 98-02 camaro and put them in my 93 and if everything would fit/ work right so i could put the new style headlights in.

If you want 98-02 lights, you'd have to do a complete front end swap of the body panels.

yea thats what i was affriad of, not a fan of the 98-02 front end though.

theres a thread on camaroz28.com about the 98+ headlights in a 93-97 `with pics, but no how to or even pics with the hood open, nobody knows the person that did it either.

FYI you can change the bulbs out. How To: Change bulbs in '93-'97 headlamps

It's good work, but they just don't go with the 4th gens at all.

This. Otherwise it's just not possible, I'd go with an HID conversion (and not that angel eye crap. Looks hooptie and out of place) and call it a day.
