Matt.....this is what you are looking for! The kit includes the fog light housing from the non RS model to run the 5202 HID kit. If you want to match your factory HIDs, make sure to select the 4300K bulbs.

Hey, an HID reply!

I've looked at their kits and it just didn't do it for me. For this kit in particular, IMHO if you're paying this much for a vehicle specific kit #1 you shouldn't need to cut up the factory wiring, and #2 I'd want projector (not reflector) housings actually designed for HID's with a cut-off as to not cause glare issues for other drivers.

That's why I was specifically asking about the P13W HID bulbs, since there's not (to my knowledge) a "proper" HID setup readily available specific to our cars, I was hoping the guy promising the P13W bulbs had come & maybe I just missed it. Apparently not

Thank you though, much appreciated!

The only part of the wiring you have to cut is the plug for the DRLs and add the new one to fit new plug on the HID kit. Its very easy.

As for the projector here you go.

Camaro fog and drl are the same housing. Only difference is the bulb socket and the fogs has an adjustable angle screw. Both reflector will produce glare since they are not designed for HIDs.

The AAC projector kit requires the back of the fog/drl "cup" in the bumper needs to be cut. Once done, you can never go back without replacing the bumper.

OEM HID housing are designed to cut glare with some type of shield during low beam driving. There is no perfect, cheap, and easy HID solution that addresses glare, heat, and retains stock design.

At least not yet. I picked up the fogs and stock harness for $150. Trying spencerHiDs 25 watt HIDs with a manual switch override. If I still have too much glare, I'll need to settle for the brightest LED 5202 available.

Everything is subjective. Good luck with the options. RS P13W options are few.

I know this thread is nearly a year old, but has anyone found a P13 HID bulb yet?

HID P13W bulbs don't exist. AAC does sell an HID kit that replaces your fog lights however. http://www.automotivelightstore.com/CamaroFogKit.aspx
