I said I wanted LEDs, doesnt mean GM needs to put them on... nontheless, they could use another lighting arrangement that actually looks good, perhaps white flourescent which are cheap ... idk anything, all i know is the current set up is ass ugly

and a different design, or using flourescent instead of halogen or anything non led (and make LED an added option perhaps?) and it would not increase the price

I am in the very small minority, but the ZL1 fogs are far more functional. I like the current LED technology being used with Audi and several others, but I would rather not give up function for frills.

Also the Leno and tf3 fogs are exactly the same so the OP should fix the poll.

The zl1 fogs are super ugly. I've given it some time to see if it would grow on me, but they are still ugly. And really the only bad part for the whole exterior.
The bulge above the fogs on the Leno/tf3 is also nicer than on the zl1.
I really wonder how much the cost diff is between the two, I'm pretty sure its close to nothing.

after staring at these photos I think the zl1 is best. I'm not really feeling the others.

The Jay Leno front and Transformers 3 are the exact same thing besides the lip and color.

Anyways, I'd be happy to pay $2500 for an exact replica of the Jay Leno/T3 front.

Curious as to why we havent seen an aftermarket version of the Leno facia, or at least the grill.

Well, with the Transformers 3 movie coming out, and the TF3 Bumblee Bee using the Jay Leno front, it might happen...(Maybe ACS will make a revised version of their T3 front)

Not a fan of putting a round lightbulb in a square, but if I had to choose I'd say BumbleBee. I prefer the original 2010 SS styling, round light, round socket, just makes good design sense to me.
I'd say do the same to the headlights and then it would look more natural.

That would be actually lighting up the road in front of you, instead of just some cool looking lights that really do not illuminate anything at all. Using LED's as DRL's like Audi, MB and a few others do is very cool but, they do not use their LED's in place of actually lighting up the road in front of the driver in darkness. Looking cool in day or night does not replace actually seeing the road at night. That is what projection lights are for and why I would prefer to have function over frills.

if you need to light up the road, your HIDs should be on .. or main headlights ... so guess i still dont see the difference since current camaro fog lights/DRLs can only be on during the day
