Could I get a link for whatever is needed to make a 2010 SS look like Cuejo's pic above with harness. Is there a color changing option like white/amber? And are those headlights above stock?
Thanks

Mine is a standard rs headlight.
If I'm not mistaken( and I may be)
I got the harness and also the 5000k led drls.

It really was a breeze to install the lights and harness from underneath :)

I would just like to thank the people over at Apex for getting me all fixed up with my new LED DRL bulbs and harness. If ANY of you are still on the fence about converting your ugly yellow stock halogen bulbs, just dont...DO IT! It's such a small change yet a huge aesthetic improvement to these cars!

I'd also like to share my experience with everyone.

I know late 2012+ models changed from P13W to PSX26W (which my car has the later) and everything I read in this thread, the pictures I saw and the comments you all had made for the colour matched LED DRL's so I went ahead and ordered the PSX26W 6W 4300K LED bulbs to match the stock colour of the RS HID's/halos.

After installing only one of them, I turned them on so I could take a picture and compare to the stock halogen on the opposite side. Video shown below:

After getting in touch with Victoria at Apex and sending the above video, she and everyone else at Apex agreed that something was up as they shouldnt be anywhere near that yellow. The bulbs were so yellow, the colour matched the stock halogen bulbs better then the HID's. Even Apex Paul emailed me and agreed that something wasn't right about it since he had these same bulbs in his own personal car but look nothing like they do in mine. Weird..

Victoria worked her magic though let me tell you. She didn't think sending another set of the same bulbs to me would make me happy and instead offered to send me the 5000k 50w bulbs as replacements instead. Here's the result:

I must say, I couldn't be happier! Not just with the bulbs appearance (did I mention they are BRIGHT?) but the overall experience with Apex and the customer service I received was impeccable!

Don't hesitate to order these LED DRL's guys, they are THAT good. Oh, and make sure you order them from Apex ;)

Can I get a PM too? I already have the harness, would just like the bulbs. Also, I have a 2012, how would I know if its the P13W or the PSX26W?

My DRL's and fog lights are 4300K and they match the output of my headlights perfectly.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/01/hy9ususu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/01/evugu4ag.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/01/ype8uzu2.jpg

I'm hoping these will be atleast a little brighter. Also, why have a been reading others getting a different bulb size? 2014 rs is an h11, but I could have sworn I read a few others getting some px something or other size. Thanks

2010-2011 cars with factory HID's will have P13W.

Early 2012 cars with the same RS package to get the HID's are also P13W.

Mid year 2012-2013 cars with the RS package to get the HID's switched to PSX26W.

2014+ cars are H11.

I have absolutely no idea why gm has switched and moved to so many different bulb styles for the DRL/Fog lights.

I'm not 100% sure on this but someone in know told me that on 2014's with HID's you can now turn the fogs on with the low beams. I never understood why we never got that option before.

I love burnouts!

Well Dang! Now I can't decide. Wonder what the price difference is? These are "Plug and Play" right? Chase... Thanks for the quotes in advance.

Compromis/sed 04-03-2014 10:43 PM

Chase, please PM me the link to purchase just the 5000K DRLs for a 2010 SS/RS. Do you carry the license plate LEDs? If so, I'll take those as well.

Yes, they are a direct swap.

how do I know if I need the 7.5 w or the 11 w? I have the 2SS/RS 2011.

Do you want it bright, or brighter? Haha

Leanthinkin 05-06-2014 08:45 PM

Well....I'm a girl...so I LOVE BRIGHT AND SHINY! But--I'm also OCD so I want it to match the headlights as close as possible. And I want to put the harness in that will make the DRLs stay on with the headlights. :)
