you can pretty much assume that LED bar on the bottom is a DRL...just going off of current models...

Yea not sure what he meant to type. 5th Gen uses H13(9008) for non-RS cars. 5006 is an ancient sealed beam bulb.

Do you think they just put a halogen bulb in it just to test since it's much cheaper?
As far is it being the RS headlight or not...the 6th gen could have just done away with separate assemblies. There are several cars out there using halogens and projectors now. Maybe the RS upgrade will just see HID setup instead of halogen.

A lot of new cars use projector housings with non-HID bulbs.

A lot of cars that use halogen bulbs in projectors, really suck, I know first hand. Once you have had hid, maybe you are spoiled. My 2010 had hid and my 2013 came with halogen and they used long life bulbs. About as bright as an old halogen flashlight. Very dim and brown in color. Lucky they used H7 both high and low beam and could be replaced with H7 rallye bulbs, H9 on H7 base.

But on most new cars GM has gone away from HID so i do not believe the 6th gen will have them, i hope i am wrong but will see soon.

That said...I agree with you that lots of new GM vehicles use the projector style, non-HID lamps. What is the advantage (assuming there is any?) of this over a regular style halogen style lamp without a projector lens? I'm assuming with the projector lens, you can just swap the bulb for an HID and be OK...or not? Sorry if this was explained earlier and I missed it!

As far as the 6th gen not having HID option, I highly doubt that. The full size pickups, Corvette, Buicks, Cadillacs, and GMCs all get them as options. Can you think of a car/truck that GM gave an option for HIDs that doesn't have them now? The damn Corolla has HIDs now standard lol.

Hell the corolla has LED headlights standard across the whole model range. What I havent quite figured out, is of toyota can do that on its base model run of the mill communter car, why havent more manufactures done it? I'd love to see LED headlight on the camaro. I know it wont happen, but id still love to see it!

Super Sound the new pickups do not have HID they have a project with halogens bulbs in them, i know I have many sets of headlights from them here, the pic I posted of the new 9012 bulb came out of the new GMC pickup headlight with the LED DRL.
