The more I think about it I think I t-tap the hi-beam wire into the factory harness. I'm about positive that's how I did it. I'm not home right now or I would tell you for sure. Ill be back home this weekend and ill be able to look at my car and tell. I hope this helps.

I'm confused after these past few post.. Considering you must use H9 Bulbs in the Eagle Eyes yet you need the H13 Harness for Hi/Low Function correct? What high beam solenoid are we speaking of? Is it not the same simple plug in play setting up the HIDS?

Check out this video. This is a Morimoto projector but the eagle eye should work in the same way. LOVE my morimoto projectors! And, TRS by far the best place to get HID stuff.

After seeing the video, I had no clue the wire coming out of the projector. I know how that connects to the harness Ill have my eagle eyes tomorrow so Ill see it in person! Thanks for the vid.

Caverman nailed it on the head. You need the H13 harness because the factory harness in your camaro is H13. Some people think HID's are bright enough and chose not to wire up the high beams. But if you chose to do so its really simple. Ill be able to explain better once I get back home this weekend and get to my car.

Basically doing this will give you a (Y) that your factory H13 will split into 2 directions ,one to your eagle eye bullb and the other one to the relay harness .This way you will be still be able to use the high beam solenoid (with out disconnecting or touching anything that is inside your eagle eye ) and your relay harness it self . Now all you have to do is take off your halogen bulb ,tape up the bulb conector really well ,and make a hole through the grommet (it use to seal the inside of the head light from element) .put your HID bulb in place ,run the wire through the grommet and just connect it to ballast .Everything esle is the same way how you hook your relay harness. On the passenger ,just unplug the halogen bulb tape the connector up leave it alone in the housing .Put your HID bulb in run the wires through grommet and connect it in to the ballast .DO NOT disconnecting the Green Factory H13 from the headlight you need this to energize the high beam solenoid .

Well the only problem that I have is the HID H9 bulbs I got fromTRS don't just turn to secure itself to the housing(maybe the base is too thick) .I worry that one day the bulbs will fall out and burn some plastic .Anyone has the same problem?

I ha the same issue. I had to remove the orange piece that came on the bulbs and got them to turn most of the way. Haven't had any issues and I've checked them frequently.

I have no idea on that one. That's crazy. My camaro doesn't have remote start but that's real odd the engine light comes on.

looks like on my case, i plan on doing this a few steps at a time. just to clarify. I am buying the eagle eyes from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130749137702 would this look okay with a halogen bulb in place? then i will buy a hid kit from here http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3954 but it says h9 wire harness, but i need a h13?
