i have a 1ss non rs and i want to get halos for it. AAC offers a kit that is about 170. i think i can do it myself im just not sure, how do you fasten the halo in the headlight? and is there an easy way to install RS headlights? if so how much would that cost?

i know that you are supposed to re seal it with silicone, in that case id feel a lot better about breaking the seal.

well the only biggest fear i have is if you dont seal it right moistire will leak in screw everthing up i mean i got HID Projection Headlamps there NOT cheap so i'm worried about screwing them up so bad ill have to buy new ones $$$ money i dont have

but i also dont want to pay an arm and a leg hobbleing around to pay someone to do it

Installed them last Friday. It took a lot to trust it would be ok in the oven but I did it. Set it up with a 3 way switch. Can have them on with the running lights, or off, or just turn them on by themselves with the car running or not. Connected them properly with 2 wire male / female connectors so no worry of ever having to cut wires to remove the bumper or headlights.

still scared to do it myself if i pay someone they screw up (like not a friend) they must pay to repair or replace i screw up i'm on my own i know but this car is an investment as much as it is enjoyment and i dont trust my self just me

If you look on the boards, there are 2 people selling their headlights on here for about 100 bucks / pair. If you did screw it up, it would only cost you $100 to get back to normal.

HID Projection headlights like on my RS?

splacencia · 07-15-2011, 01:21 PM

No sorry. They are the non-rs lights.

If you're going to open your headlights to put in halos I would highly recommend doing an HID retrofit. I've never had HIDs until I did the retrofit and I absolutely love it, and HIDs are going to be a requirement for every car I own in the future. Check out my retrofit with dual color halos from AAC http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147580
