Will the Halos Stay???

I wonder if the Halos will stay. When we saw those LEDs coming through that heavy padding I thought they may do away with the Halos. But with the padding off we didn't see any LEDs.. Now that Dodge is jumping on the Halo band wagon.. Wonder if Chevrolet will do something different. I applaud Ford for doing something different with Mustang's LEDs...

Applaud Ford for doing something different?? I think that's giving Ford a bit too much credit lol.

Pretty much all vehicles on the road today have LEDs....and almost none are circular. BMW (dual halo), then Camaro, and now Dodge. Thats pretty much it. Its not like someone at Ford actually said "everyone has Halos...we will be different!! Yay!".

If Chevy keeps the halos on the Camaro, I think that would be great and fine by me. If not....then I'm fine with that too, as long as the headlight design and LEDs they DO use look good.

I think the single halo is the Camaro's signature look.. And don't forget Camaro was the first to make Halo bright white (HID like).. BMW then jumped on that.. Audi does a pretty cool rectangular box LED on the A5/S5.. Hope the Halo stays

I hope they bring it back, not sure why Z/28 doesn't have them though.

I can't stand the new mustang lights, front or rear - horrible.

The Z/28 doesn't have them as part of the weight loss program. They used the standard, and lighter, headlights and removed the wiring for the halos/HIDs from the harnesses.

Weight and I think the halos and HIDs draw more power off the battery or something like that.. One of these smart guys on here can explain it better.. Lol

Mostly just due to weight and added components(HID ballasts)... HID lights consume less power than conventional halogens

Camaro wasn't the first at anything dealing with the Halo. You've been misinformed.

the headlights will probably look different, but i'm sure they'll do something to preserve that RS option and the $1,000+ dollars extra it adds.

Don't know about the Halos but I'm sure some form of LEDs will be available.
