2014 Non-RS Headlights with a twist!!

After deciding not to trade in 2010 for a 2014 I decided to just make a 2014 front & rear fascia change. I wanted to do something different with the headlights so I reached out to a local shop and they built me these custom headlights.

Here is a pic with the lights off.



This is a pic with the hazards flashing. The lower strips turn amber as does the turn signal bulbs.


Here is normal driving mode with the headlights turned off and the running lights on.


Here I have my amber halos and running lights on.



Here I have my outer headlights on and running lights.



Here I have all 4 headlights on.





I wired the inner headlights to the existing fog light switch so I can control them in case its too bright for cars in front of me.

So far so good!!

Here is a pic of the rear LED taillights.

Yes. You need to buy the fascia, upper & lower grill, bowtie, fog lamp bezels and fog lamps. You can re-use your absorber. Everything else you can use from your existing bumper.

You also need the 2014 headlights and you can contact Ofer from GEN5DIY about the wiring harness.

The wheel well covers are also different but I originally had the ZL1 wheel well covers so I did not have to buy them.

Got the front bumper from GM at employee cost, don't know the list price but I think over $400 with the $75 core charge added.

The 2014 trunk lid will fit all 2010-2013. They only changed the front and rear fascias (including rear trunk) on the 2014 otherwise everything is a direct bolt on. You do have to buy the rear brackets that hold the 2014 rear bumper. These brackets are held to the Camaro body rivets.

a core charge for a bumper... that's ridiculous, never heard of it before. if the bumpers cracked does that count as a good core still?
