...well it looks like the lights will fit a first gen LS but there is much more work to get them to fit.

... also some small filler pieces all also needed to fill in a round the light...
so after all it is do-able, but it looks like persian451 maybe selling his car so I don't have a first gen LS to work with now...so back to work on my 2genLS.
I will keep you guys posted.

That looks awesome! What will you fill them up with? Man, a nice set of HIDs on those would look amazing. Can we get a picture of the whole front end? How much did the headlight assemblies cost?

Once the rubber seals are fabricated all the spaces will be sealed,and then some small alterations to the grill.
