Adding HID's to the LS (Dealer)

This is what you need. This was done on an LS Camaro, Halos and all.

No RS pkg for me. I don't need halos and I like the retro look of the Halogen bulb. I will however be changing over to the Xenon lights and Fogs (not the Xenon ones) for about $300.

Here is another:

Has anyone had anyluck installing GM's halo-hid's on a 2ss. ANy onfo would be greatly appreciated.

Anything can be done for a price. Just be very careful. If some electrical issues happen to the car, your aftermarket stuff installed by "a guy I know" could cost you a lot more to fix than what it would have cost to get the RS package in the first place.

I was told most HID lights from the factory have a unique "VIN" type of number on them, maybe Mercedez, so they will not work if stolen and used in other cars. Same principle here with Chevy?

I am going to make some phone calls tomorrow, I already bought the lights and wiring harness.

why do you guys add them after the fact? why not just get the RS package from the start?

Cause some people don't want to spend the extra money to get the LT version.

They would rather spend double the RS package amount to just get headlights

It's about $3,000 to go from an LS to a 1LT/RS, with that you get:

Headlights - $1,600 - We have a shop and our cost is $700, dealer pays around $550 for them (their cost) so no way you can get them for $400 unless they're stolen.

20" Wheels - $3,000 - Easily this much, the tires alone are almost $1,000.

Spoiler - $150 - That's price for one painted.

Fog Lights - $100 - They're DRL's if you have the RS Package.

Roof Ditch Molding Painted - $100 - At least that much for paint.

Power Drivers Seat - Can't do it without the 1LT.

So roughly $5,000 in parts to add $3,000.

$3000 for 20 inch rims?
They're about $1500 on ebay.

Call the dealer and ask them how much each wheel off the RS Package is. I'm not talking about used prices, and like I said tires alone are around $1,000.

[future2010camaroowner]

These tires are not used. They are basically new with 5 miles on them.

It all depends on what you want.
Aftermarket low and high beam HID upgrade from LS - $150
Dovetail spoiler - $375 with paint (Old school look not this little lip)
21" rims and tires - $1300 (230miles from Camaro5)
True Fog lights not DRLs - $275
Power Driver's seat - LS has a electric tilt - and I have never moved my seat since I have bought the car (worthless to me)

Total $2100

That's $900 dollars toward more mods and I have better Rims, tires, bigger spoiler and REAL HID fog lights.
Dealers offer the packages to make $
Off to by that new exhaust and still be under that LT package.
Again, its up to you but don't take it for granted that these packages are the best !
Lot of great ideas and people on Camaro5 to help you get these great upgrades at a fraction of cost.

Most aftermarket are not true halo but LED's.. some look ok but you can easily tell the difference.

It's really all up to what you like, to each his own. I've only seen maybe 5 Camaro's that have differen't wheels etc. that I actually liked but that's just me, haven't seen a set of 20's that are nicer than the stock ones though. Don't forget if something happens to any of the parts you installed your warranty won't cover them.
