Does anyone make adaptive headlights for a 2017 Camaro?

Im sure theyd have to be aftermarket of course, and Im guessing if the car is "smart" enough to support having Wifi in it as well as bluetooth surely it has whatever is required to make adaptive headlights work, yet Ive looked everywhere and cant find any... I would love to have something similar to whats mentioned in this video







Where I live theres a lot of dark one lane roads with little to no streetlight so I gotta depend on the cars headlights to drive, problem is Camro's headlights lighting ability is shit, the lighting is so bad in the dark that I have to drive like 10 mph just to be safe, I notice no one elses car Ive been in has this issue, Im guessing the reason the Camaro has an issue is because of how low it is to the ground compared to most standard cars, and since the lights arent higher up that means the distance they cover is gonna be a lot lower than lights on a car that sit 1-2 feet higher.


And I dont wanna be one of those assholes who drives with bright ass lights at night 24/7 (im one of those people mentioned on the video constantly being blinded at night by oncoming cars... which causes me to reduce me already slow speed even slower until they pass... and of course the blinding is probably also because the car sits lower than most other cars so while other cars wouldnt be effected much by this, people lights on my car however go straight to the windshield lol)


It seem like actively lights brighten automatically depending on the situation (extremely dark road) and dim back to normal automatically when lighting conditions on the road improve, that would be wonderful for someone like me who struggles to drive at night on poorly lit roads

Alas, I'm not aware of any adaptive/smart headlights for the Camaro either. However, I don't find the HID headlights in my 2SS bad, in fact, they are more than adequate even on completely unlit mountain roads here in East TN. Not saying there is no improvement to be had, but they are definitely good overall.

Do you have the base halogen headlights perhaps in your 2LT? If yes, then I totally understand your woes, those headlights are absolute turds and I would do an HID or LED swap ASAP.

Haven’t seen any way to make them ‘smart’ either

How old are your HIDs? On the off chance they’re dying out and changing color

  • Very interesting question.
  • As always, try a Camaro6 forum search or Google search ~ there’s a post or two out there.
  • I had a 2016 Merc C300 with automatic adaptive LED headlights - they were AMAZING!
  • My current 2017 ZL1 xenons are great.
  • My previous 2008 BMW M3 xenons were fine.
  • My previous 2012 AMG C63 halogens were weak. I tried upgrading the bulb - still mediocre.
  • I would say from my experience: LED > Xenon >> Halogen
  • Amazon has a $600 plug and play LED upgrade for your Halogens. I would give that a try versus any bulb swap.
