2019+ SS RS Headlights on a ZL1?

Anyone do this or know if it's even doable? I've seen zl1 bumper conversions on to a 2019+ SS with the RS headlights and I think they look pretty dope. I have a 2018 zl1 1le and was wondering if 2019+ SS RS headlights would plug and play onto a ZL1. Tried the search function but it didnt work. Thanks in advance peeps!

PFA and yes I know it's an aftermarket zl1 bumper and not OEM.

Not plug and play to my knowledge, the pre-refresh is HID with LED DRL’s while the 19+ lights are LED only. Would need a harness to get them working properly at the least and the conversion bumpers would not fit your ZL1 fenders as they are designed for lower trim models without the wider fenders.

It’s possible but would involve most likely changing to non-ZL1 fenders as well

Not looking to change bumpers. Just looking to see of the refresh headlights would swap into a zl1. So let's say if there's a harness or adapter, would the lights even bolt right up to the 2018 cuz they are different shapes.

The picture you showed is with SS headlamps. LT1 and below has something different.

Interesting taste... One of my points of getting ZL1 were older headlights

Yes SS headlights. These lights grew on me as I saw more of them on the road. These headlights look more aggressive than our current zl1 headlights. With just the DRL's on they look pretty menacing especially with the zl1 front end.

From the looks of it I don't thinks it's been done let alone doable.

They're way less aggressive, but let's not rehash the old design discussion here

I think you would get the best results visually if you managed to reuse the new SS DRLs with the ZL1 bumper, because if you do what's in your first photo, the pre-refresh standalone DRLs clash with the post-refresh SS DRLs integrated into the headlights.
