No. All 3 times I've done the install I've "forgotten" to reinstall those nuts.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear.

I think one of mine has been gone for 2 years now. Too much of a pain to put back in, even more so with 22s on. I think it just helps secure it more but not technically needed.

Is that 230 degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit ?
I have a Gas oven, does it matter that it's not Electric?

Fahrenheit, gas or electric is fine.

Don't do it man. Their product is junk. The ring they send you does not fit properly with the stock diffuser. The ring is a perfect circle while stock is not meaning some LEDs will not hit the diffuser properly. The pictures on their site are very deceiving. I tried it myself and thought I screwed up. I ended up sending it to them and they did the same exact job and even lied about a few things and had even for some reason but off part of the lamps that sticks out to allow you to line it up properly. I can’t think of what it is called, but I ended up braking a lamp because of that being broken off as my bumper cover got stuck. But all in all, it looks like garbage because like I said, the ring they send does not match the stock ring. There are better options out there.

I've done it OK :-) Looks OK.
My headlights are NON-RS, but I take your point.
My UK wiring is different, so I'm taking it into a local dealer this afternoon to be tested for Road Worthy-ness.

Thank you anyway.

We have hundreds of happy customers here on Camaro5 and we had the opportunity to meet dozens of customers showing off their ORACLE ColorSHIFT Halos at C5F3 over the weekend and they all looked awesome in person nothing but great feedback and positive cmments. Sounds like your situation of getting your bumper cover "stuck" may be a case of installer error, if you would like to send me a PM I would be happy to help troubleshoot with you.

The install just required a lot of pre-planning, research, head-trip trial run movies :-)

Once I started it was fine. Only a matter of confidence.

My UK IVA wiring is the issue, not the product.

Switchback blinkers are on the way next!

Very Nice and it looks like you have a non RS which I do as well so my question is how is the halo mounted on the halogen reflector?

The Halo's LED rings have very very strong double-sided tape on the back.
Very strong.
That helps you get them positioned well and firmly.
Once I was happy with the position, I used Araldite (http://www.go-araldite.com/) two-part Epoxy glue to secure them at four points, 2 top, 2 bottom, mainly filling in from behind.
Once the headlight goes together again it also clamps them in :-)

Yes, same for the Fogs.
I then wired each side together and spliced into the side running lights.
