Anyone else turn on the halos even in the day? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I do on occasions, run them along with the ghost side marker lights..

-- always (on 2010-2013 and '14 ZL1) --

The Halos become the DRLs in 2014 on models with the RS Package (the '14 ZL1 retains the '12-'13 front styling)

Mom Settlemire tells me that she shows Camaro owners all the time how to turn the halos on.

...and of course the Body Controller will shut them off after several minutes if you forget to ....

I think the halos make the Camaro look "particularly furious" --

Halos and DRL's on all day thanks to a harness...

I run them all the time with the Gen5DIY harness. I also have the fog harness to run the fogs all the time. I changed out the lamps in the fogs to intense white LED's that match the color and intensity of the halos and the main headlights. It all matches now (instead of yellowish fogs) and looks great!

Ditto, with the exception that I have the NightOWL LED kit. Default to synergy green color when I key ignition. Halos and DRL/"Fogs" on while driving day/night.

Bad decision by engineers to ever make the fogs DRLs. Should have been the halos all along as DRLs for RS. If anyone knows of a kit like I refer to plz feel free to pm me.

Been looking for this for a couple of years now.... just not a popular setup. I never run my halos during the day...use to, not any more.

I got the LED DRL's and the GEN5DIY harness too. I love the look of the DRL's and Halos on at the same time.

CloudXTC · 09-16-2013, 03:08 PM

always!

Is this through the computer, or just through use of a different harness? If just a harness, would you have the part number?

So if the Halos function as DRL's, can I assume that the RS now has fog lights that are actuated with a button in the center of the light switch similar to the 2010-2012 non RS cars?

^^^^ this.. very 1st mod I did

Cookie Monster · 09-20-2013, 02:19 AM

I use them 100% of the time (2014 obviously). Hell, I click my unlock button on my remote a million times just so I can stare at them on my way to the car.
...
Those Halos are too beautiful to have off & I paid wayyyyy to much money to not see them on.
