GTS Headlight Warping? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know that per the Co. the GTS headlight covers are not recomended for use with HIDs in possibility of warping the covers, second to heat.

In addition to damaging the covers, I had read in a post it may ruin the headlight lens its self..

Just curious has anyone ran into this problem?

They are junk, and look shitty anyway.

Thats my opinion, when I was younger I thought they were cool, but they damage stuff, impare your vision at night, and Ive lost plenty of them.

Well at least peel the GTS stickers off of them.

Sorry for being so opinionated.

They are cheap enough that when they look like crap in 2 years its no great loss.

I had one of their bug shields on my truck, and even though they say it won't...it did. Scratched up my hood and grill.

GTS sucks.

<rant over>

i dont like them on most cars... just think they make the camaro look sweet.. i lik the hidden headlight look but dont really drop the money or mod. of a phantom grill.

Don't do it! Those lamps are EXPENSIVE if you have to replace them.

Back in the summer I asked GT Stylings about their headlight covers and the HIDs - they said they'd not recommend them for street use as the HID temperature would warp/melt the cover quickly - they said only use them for car shows/meets. They also said they'd not honor any warranty on their product if used on the streets...
