Maybe change your subject line and you'll get more responses.

RS is an appearance package from GM. There is only one RS headlight and that is the one from GM. All of the others are knock offs and I would more closely just call them halo projector headlights.

Some people have had good luck with the knock offs and some have not. I personally would only go with RS headlights if I were with a non-RS.

One way is from the halo ring. OEM is cut off top and bottom. Also, the OEM part does not have connectors dangling from wires sticking out of the back.
