Are those red lights legal? I love them but I don't need another reason to get pulled over.

How do you figure they are much higher quality then Oracle? I have had no issues with my Oracle side markers and they look great IMO pic below to compare the 2 brands. I am not a fan of the reflective lens Diodes has regardless if its DOT approved or not i feel the LED bleeds into the lens distorting the thing in 90% of the pictures i have seen on here. So unless you had Oracles installed previously on your Camaro/Gen 6 before Diodes I wouldn't personally make that assumption so fast.

Doesn't someone already have a kit out that allows the user to change the color of the DRLs?

" the LED bleeds into the lens distorting the thing in 90% of the pictures i have seen on here".
I see what you mean as far as the pics go but the leds are a small detailed thin strip down the middle. It looks like a thin strip of light. For some reason when you take a pic of them they do look different. See the difference vs daylight and darkness. I just put them on last week and love them. They look like they belong on the car. I get a lot of complements. But again when you look at them at night they look the same as in the daytime. A thin strip down the middle very sharp and detailed.

The DD's are on my list. I think the smoked ones will go nice with the blacked out look I have, but all in good time.

Yeah but some of us have been trying to do this our selves without sending it away for "professional installation". If its just baking it at X temp for X time it should be simple enough if one takes their time. Hardest part should be breaking the seal.
On a side note, will you be making kits that can do sequential lighting or chase lighting? |

I've been waiting for these for a while...the perfect look of the single solid LED line. I'm going to order these I think. Hopefully they have the ghosted paint finish option like the other guys.
I've owned Oracle headlight LED rings before and they're good quality and they stand behind them, but the little individual LED's lights don't look as good as these. The Oracles are very bright and I've had them since 2013, but that will lessen over time. You'll also start to see individual lights die and it will stick out visually if it's in the center...could drive you nuts. When that happens you need to go through a certified installer to get the warranty from Oracle, but most installers will charge you labor all over again to replace. They take a long time to do start to finish. It sounds simple and looks simple on the internet, but it isn't. Quote:
Basically you have to bake the headlight housing in an oven at the perfect temp and time to loosen the factory glue. You can't get the same exact glue yourself so after you bake them once, you have to bake them again to put them back together. It's the only way to do it to re-use the factory glue. Break a little piece inside and you'll find yourself needing to order a new light (probably $500+). Get the baking time or temp wrong, and you'll see moisture inside the light over time. If you can't find an experienced top level installer, I would send your lights in for a swap from the vendor...safest way to do it.
