Even Chevy thinks the drl's should match the HID's... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not sure if this has been pointed out before but I was on chevrolet.com and noticed the pic below. See something fishy?

1. The DRL's are on at the same time as the headlights with the RS package
2. They are the same color temp as the HID's.

This is how it should have come stock :(

That's actually not an RS...
It has a white SS logo which would mean it's not an RS right?
Correct me if i'm wrong

I was just going off the color of the headlights and assumed they were HID's. Even if you're right, the picture is out of whack

I zoomed in on the SS emblem, its white therefore not an RS. It is an odd coloring for the standard lights. They do look like HID's.

There are ton of pictures like that, RS and non I have seen from Chevy. Indy Pace Car, several SS models, and some of the ZL1 pics the halos are blueish...

Well, picture aside, my Chevy salesperson and the owner of the dealership both think the incandescent DRL's are stupid and want to see my car with the LEDs in so they can customize a few on their lot.

Why would they sell 2LT's/RS with lights in the fog area that dont work?>

FL1CK · 01-06-2012, 09:03 PM

That's how my HODs from AAC look in the halogen housing... bright white... and my LED fogs looked almost exactly the same. But it is a halogen housing in the pic, otherwise at that angle you'd see the projector lens

This picture is clearly a Non-RS Camaro with a HId kit on both halogen headlight housing and foglights. I don't see how y'all think this is an RS Camaro.

also, the ditch molding is not body colored, it's black

TJ91 · 01-06-2012, 11:50 PM

If the housing isn't a big indicator, the parking lights is definitly a heads up that it's isn't an RS
Definitly looks like they used different bulbs for the headlights and fogs but GM has been doing this since day one. Their adds are never true. Halos tend to be different colors in commercials. The fogs never look as yellow as they truly do. They even show different random functions on the Camaro in certain commercials.
I want fogs that perfectly match the hid but sadly. Even the replacement ones here tend to be bluer then the factory HIDs so I disabled my drls all together
