http://store.ijdmtoy.com/ProductDeta...OG_5202_SKU_4E

Idk I ordered it just now, lets see how it looks and how long it will last haha. Hope it was worth what I payed for. Btw, do you know any videos on youtube or whatever that teaches you how to install them? I want to do it myself so I wont have to pay someone to do it. Also, does yours turn on and off light it normally would? By like pressing the middle button on the knob?

my foglights go on whenever my headlights or halos are on. Make sure you get a harness from http://www.gen5diy.com/PnP_harnesses...ts/drl-harness so you can do this as well. With installation of the bulbs and everything itll take no more than like 15min to do it all. On that website he shows you how to change the foglights which is basically removing 3 screws from the wheel well.

because AAC and Phastek like to rip people off. you can get the same ones on ebay for $30 or so, they all come from china, the only difference it the packaging. So companies like AAC repack them into their own branding packaging.


bought mine form some Chinese company on ebay back in Sept and have had no issue, and mine are DRL and Fog (running the gen5diy.com harness)

Ahh all this stuff is confusing for me. Im new with car and this camaro is my first car so like I hardly know what I have to buy and there all this kits and stuff >.<. All I know is that I bought whatever came on that phasket link I showed. And my camaro right now is the 1LT so it already has fog lamps I just want to switch the bulbs to LED. hopefully I dont need to buy a seperate harness or anything.. But yeah think I got kind of ripped off...should of done a little more search ..

Send the AAC ones back and get a refund if they will let you. They aren't that good at all. They are like rejects from other places. Get them from superbrightled or eBay.

When you say they arent that good, what do you mean? Are they not bright, or they burn out easily?

They don't last very long. Most people that have posted about them report of weeks maybe months. LEDs should last alot longer than that.
