14 Halos vs 10-13 Halos
I don't know why I haven't noticed this before but the Halos on the 14 Camaros seem to be brighter than the 10 thru 13 Camaros. Can anyone shed some light (no pun intended) on the subject and can the LED be used on the 10 thru 13 models?

They are very brighter but also they are not full halos like the 10-13, more like half a halo.

Halo's on the 2014's are LED that's probably why.

They are led as well ... just one led, which lights a plastic halo. IDK about the '14 though.

They are most likely brighter so they can now be used as DRLs.

Really never took the time to notice. Why change stock halos? I guess its a preference, I wouldn't even think about it.

Does anyone know if they are interchangeable say the '14 to the '10? I would think so.

I changed them so I can have green halos to drive around in, and multicolored for shows...

The 10-13 halo is a circular light guide. The groves on the backside of halo pick up light from a single source to illuminate it. The 14's use leds directly behind, with a very diffused clear lens like a taillight, so they are not halos anymore, just shaped like them, well 1/2 ones.

Does anyone know if the 14 ZL1 (which has retained the front clip of the 10-13 models) has switched to this new lighting element for the Halos or is still the one bulb like the rest of us?

Everything on the 2014 ZL1 front end is the same as previous years.
