where to buy new halos - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Fresh · 03-18-2014, 12:04 PM

I own a 2011 RS. I love my current halos but they are just not bright enough.

Does anyone offer the headlight set for the RS model with brighter LEDs? I dont want to baked my headlights either. Is there a place where i can buy a new set of RS headlights already equipped with the brighter LEDs?

im sure this has been asked before but thanks!

would something like these even be worth it over the stock RS lights?

Not if they are CCFL.

Our halos are about the same as stock. We also handle Nightowl, which is brighter. No baking.

Check out our JDP Color changing halo kit. It gives you the option to run many different colors at the touch of the button and does not require baking the headlights.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

Night owl is the way to go!! Pricey but you will not regret it. Ultimate control via your smart phone. Customer Service is the best around!!

all of those kits require taking apart the headlights right?

sjmautoprod · 03-18-2014, 02:16 PM

Only the kits that use LED rings.

The NightOwl kit involves removing the ballast (held by three screws) and the access cap (1/4 turn). Real easy to get in. Then you can get the inside screws to release the LED under the ring directly except for one that requires use of a swivel. The kit comes with an excellent video showing how to do it. No baking!

i had no idea! im going to look for the video to see how easy it is to install, if so i will be making a purchase very soon!

how much brighter are the night owl leds vs stock?

spadz93 · 03-19-2014, 12:53 PM

^interested in this as well, in terms of brightness. install seems quite easy from the above directions, and the stock halos could definitely be brighter

This is due to a change in the headlight design. The 2010-2013 halos were lit by one LED mounted at the base of the halo ring. The 2014 halos are lit by six (IIRC) LEDs mounted behind the halo ring. So instead of using the ring to refract the light, the ring is being used to diffuse the individual LEDs.

It's brighter, but, it's not as nice looking. I wish GM stuck with the light-pipe design like some other manufacturers have.
