To halo or not to halo POLL - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I voted no. I appreciate the improved light quality of the HIDs, but I don't like the look of the halo system. I'd rather get the regular lights and put some high output bulbs in them then have the HID setup.

Of course, it may also be that I don't like the way the HIDs look next to the fog lamps, and I was thinking about removing the fogs anyway and just smoothing in that entire area. Maybe then an HID conversion would be worth it.

I think the halo are sweet. But I don't have them and regular lights are great to. Plus it's nice to use fog lights if you want. Can't use that on halos but it's whatever makes you happy

I saw halos in person last night at the Transformers Premiere...Halos all the way!

I personally liked the appearance of the RS package including and especially the halos, but since I would have had to accept non-rotatable summer tires instead of rotatable all season tires, (I live in Michigan), I decided against the RS option on the IOM 2LT M6 that I have on order. The standard lighting package still looks great, but I do think that Chevrolet should offer the RS appearance package without changing the standard tires and at a reduced price.

Love the look of the Halos.

Tactical Z · 06-24-2009, 05:09 PM

I am not going to vote because I like them, then I dont like them.

I dont like them on some colors like IOM and Black, but on other colors they are fine.

Halo's

Banshee · 06-24-2009, 05:13 PM

I have seen the 1SS without and I have the 2SS with. The look of the Camaro with the halo's on is awesome!

The HID's are awesome as well...much more coverage than the halogens.

I vote and HIGHLY recommend halo's.

And as a side note..The car takes on a different appearance from the front with HID's and Halos..Meaner and more aggressive. For $1200 and what you get (HID's/Halos, ditch molding, wheel finish, darker tail lamps, badging) I would pony up no doubt!

The Camaro with HID's and Halos looks like one pissed off SOB! Just look at the pics!

When I drove Thor to Florida................first thing I did was turn on the Halos.

I agree with this, people in the situation that want the RS package but also want this car do be their daily driving vehicle all year round in places with terrible winters will have to get the summer 20" tires... so then you will have to replace these for winters or all seasons depending.. its an added cost and it is a shame that GM did not offer the "halos" separate from the RS..

but by the look at the poll this doesnt seem to affect many at all..

I vote Yes to "Halos"..... No to the RS package......
