67 RS conversion question

[skooli]

I bought my 67 Camaro Coupe from someone who had already done the RS hideaway headlight conversion but did not account for turn signals. Has anyone done this conversion? I'm planning on replacing the front valance with the RS valance with the spots for the parking lights. Is this an easy conversion or would I be better off to go back to the stock Coupe grill? It seems pretty straightforward. I'm just not sure of the wiring details.

I have a 68, which is a little trickier, as the parking lights come in a housing that doesnt include trim on the outside face like a 67 does, and mounts inside the valance. We had to use an RS valance, but the 67 includes trim in the housing that is on the outer face of the valance so you should be able to use the same valance. Just buy the housings from Classic Industries, D&R Classic, Year One, etc... and cut out the hole small enough that the trim will cover it. Im not sure if youd have to fabricate a bracket, like I said, I have a 68. Should be straightforward, and more important, less time and money.

The light kit comes with a pigtail that you can connect to the stock running lamp wiring. Assuming the guy who converted the lights to RS left it for you.

Yep, the wiring is just dangling in front of the core support.
