The total cost including finding all the lights which I had to buy separately along with the ottobody harness and install ran me about $975.00 all together I bought one headlight for 400 and the other for 275 then the harness was 100 and the install Im taking it to a body shop just to be safe and theyre installing them for 200 I know its a lot but In the end it just seems so worth it looking at those halos.

so I was able to negotiate the price down a bit but like I said its definitely worth it, it just comes down to what you want in the end and if youre willing to risk getting a used part from another Camaro. I for one have bought the Bluetooth module and one of the headlights from a used auto body and so far both work flawlessly. So good luck in whichever you decide.

Just passing along what I was told by Dylan.

I was actually talking to Dylan this morning and he informed me that I have the new diode thats why it took so long for them to ship them out is because the diodes were on back order. But thank you for the heads up. For everyone considering Otto Body Dylan and Todd have been absolutely a great pleasure dealing with! I highly recommend them they are absolutely awesome
! Oh and as for the picture I already took it to the body shop so sorry I wasnt able to snap a picture for you before but when I get it back I can hopefully try and get a good picture for you.

Ive seen that retrofit and it looks awesome. However Ive also seen the eagle eyes and the AAC halos for the halogen and honestly I dont think the AAC halos compare to the oem rs headlight ones but I have seen some really nice setups and they are absolutely awesome this is just the route i chose to go
