Replaced DRL's - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Finally got around to replacing my DRL's yesterday. Replaced them with the Morimoto XB LED's and found an adapter on ebay so it would be plug and play. I also had to buy a set of factory Fog light housings and use the 2 small adapters for the top mounting holes and the lower adjustable mounting post. I like them much better than what I had in the DRL's and they have a cut off line so no more blinding people.

Below are links to the lights and the adapter.

These are the factory fogs I bought to get the plastic adapters and the adjustable mount.

Yeah those look much better and brighter than the stock units, never been a fan of any of Chevy's fog lights.

Nice that you were able to find a light that was actually designed to replace the factory fog and kudos to you for taking it a step further, nice clean install too with the wiring adapters. I would like to do the same but the problem is I have halo led's installed in mine right now and I those look too nice to cut open and butcher to retain the same effect.

Looking at them I'm not sure there is room inside the housing to put halos.

How hard is it to install?

If you get all of the parts I listed it's pretty straight forward. took my about 30-45 min to do the swap.
