I'm having a hell of a time finding it...perhaps it was just a very popular mod in my area for the 3rd gen firebirds?

Well you expanded on my comment to include everything and anything, which you are dead wrong about. While I accept the fact that people are infatuated by LEDs, and accept the fact that they sell cars because of that infatuation, I don't think there is anything to "get over" as I otherwise (besides the SS grille and LED tail lights) love the look of the 6th Gen.

My disfavor with LED tail lights would not stop me from buying a Gen6 Camaro provided the main focus is on performance, reliability, and comfort - which I believe it is.

FYI, I prefer my halogen headlamps in my 2LS because they look more "organic", and thus more "alive"...and well as playing into the retro vibe of the pre-referesh.

Am I the only one who wants to cue "You know it's all about that bass, 'bout that bass..."
FWIW, LEDs are no longer about style. They have so many advantages over incandescent bulbs it isn't even funny*, plus they are rapidly trending toward cheaper than other "exotic" lighting technologies. The fact that car designers can perform cool styling tricks is just a bonus! So take heart if you don't like them. They're not a useless styling cue but rather the inevitable march of progress! * Most of the advantages have already been listed, but here we go just in case. LEDs are: power efficient, cool during operation, insanely bright, instant on/off, only "burn out" through mechanical damage, are typically installed in clusters that can handle the loss of individual diodes, and they're actually quite cheap on a per-unit basis. A lot of the expense is actually in the circuit board and light diffusers, both of which get cheaper in large quantities.

After owning HIDs, I can't go back to halogens. Having halogens is like not having head lights after having HID for extended use.

True. I had several loaner cars in a row when getting repairs done to my Camaro...all had HIDs, and all were very impressive...then I got back into my Camaro and it felt like driving my candle light.

The 14-15's were disgustingly awful. Completely ruined the look of the rear end for me.
These new lights will likely be my favorite, judging only by the picture. Need to see them in person but in photo's they are gorgeous. |
