If anyone looks carefully, the HIDs on the RS package are completely different lamp housings with unique bezels, reflectors and lenses with additional lamps and lenses for the Halo lights as well as a mechanical actuator assembly for the Low/High beams in each light.
If all you care about is the brighter light, then you can pop in a $200 HID bulb/transformer into your existing halogen lamps and the lights will be brighter, but this will NOT give you the halo setup of an RS.
When people start talking about upgrading to HIDs in the aftermarket for $200, this is what you're going to get. I think it is very misleading to say $200 to upgrade the lights because many people are going to assume they will be able to get the RS "look" with the Halos and projector lens, and that ain't gonna happen for $200.
There's too much involved in the Camaro HIDs. Upgrading is going to cost some serious $$$.
