Adding a ZL1 front end to your car. - Page 215 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

No, you reuse the old front bumper harness.

I recently purchased my Camaro, 2010 LT with the ZL1 conversion already installed by the previous owner. It has the harness for the fog lights, and it worked the first day I brought the car home, but for some reason it stopped working. Meaning - the bottom fog light never comes on, and the DRLs work like they're supposed too, according to the factory setting; run during the day and not with the headlights on. I am clueless, and kinda aggravated, because I really want it working again. Can anyone offer up any easy suggestions? I am not mechanically inclined, but before I take it to a shop, I want to have an idea as to what may be wrong, so I don't get ripped off. Thanks in advance for the help!

The setting should be auto on the knob, during the day the top drl lights should be on and at night the headlights and bottom drl fog lights should be on

Make sure it says auto on the DIC. You may have to turn it twice to the left for auto to show

I messed with the light dial/switch on and off, auto, etc, but still no luck.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 12-06-2013, 02:10 PM

How do you know they ever came on?

It says they are die cast and glass

I have a couple of friends that have bought them and have had no problems.

I am doing this conversion in the next month. Already ordered the kit from Gary and the harness from Ofer. I had two questions if anyone can answer them for me.

First, is there a special tool we need to use for the black plastic rivets that are pictured earlier in the thread that hold the black trim piece that you transfer from the top of your old bumper to the new ZL1 bumper.

Second, I currently have an Apex Race Scoop installed. I believe I saw somewhere that this will not work with the ZL1 Bumper. Can anyone verify that this is the case, and if so, are there other scoops that will work in its place?

Thanks.

One question i have is did anyone have any issues bolting it on the sides 100% flush? Theres some washers there that i think is preventing it from eliminating that tiny gap?

scoticus.rex · 12-08-2013, 12:02 PM

Nice, how did you manage to add the mail slot back in?

He has the Autosource ZL1 front end, which incorporates the mailsot. OEM and other companies don't have the mailslot present.

Yup what he said. I just cant get the sides to bolt up all the way 100%, its almost there but not to my liking. So I am curious if all the other conversion zl1 bumpers had the same issue or if its just mine?

I have the OEM one from Ofer and it fits perfectly. People even sometimes don't believe it's not the real bumper.
