I emailed them, well see what happens. Anyways, I found some locally, but they’re from a 2013 Camaro. Do you think they’ll fit mines 2012?

Yes, 10-13s tailights are all the same except RS lights are darker.

No I don't. Why are you asking about the fuse?

Instead of unplugging the lights, I can just uplug the fuse so it doesn’t keep killing my battery, but idk which fuse it is.

Unplug only when I’m not using the car. It’s my only solution for now until I order the sticks lights from directgm

Just disconnect the driver side outer Technostalgia connector. Remove the lights access cover (step 1) which will give you access to the wiring, then disconnect the connector from the light shown here in step 5 (the one with the four colored wires) from the technostalgia harness connector it's attached to. Should take no more than 5-10 mins.

Alright boys, I got it all fix! She’s back in the road! After a two hour drive to an auto salvage who had OEM lights. They only sold me the plastic, I then bought the light at an auto parts store and connected them. I replaced all the lights to prevent this from happening in the future.

Thanks bud. I have one more problem though.. I had this one for a while but It didn’t matter to me much since I could still drive the car like that, but why not ask. One of my halo rings from my head lights went out. How do I go about fixing this?

I'm assuming it's an oe rs headlight? Gotta ask. Unfortunately i don't believe the led is easily replaceable. You may find some useful info on page 2 or 3 here.

If you switch the red and blue wires in this led set it corrects the problem. Just switch the wires on the side you had trouble with. It's the blast resistance that changes from the wire switching which corrects it.

Glad for you! What did they charge you for the plastic lights?
