Are these reflectors something we can disassemble and send off for re-plating? There is even an at-home spray product they claim is great in the article. |

High Beam D1S LED Upgrade. Parked level in a garage but on a hill going down so they look high.

For all here in the thread, I have a group buy in for the newest Morimoto Micro D2S 5.0 retrofit bracket design going. This would allow a true oem fit for new projectors! Brackets only. Check the thread in the Cosmetic and lighting forum section. I may even have them attempt the MLED 2.0 as well

Can you post pics from the front of the car so we can see how the lights look?

I will say though, that the upgrade shown in these pics is better than what most folks are dealing with in their RS's after a few years! Honestly, it's a safety concern and Chevy should have been called out on this, in my opinion. |

For those who missed it, this is the root canal of this issue:
https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showp...82&postcount=4 I bought new aftermarkets and they lasted less time than the originals, really sad. These are incredibly cheaply made but were a direct replacement, so easy to install to get car inspected. Looks like they aren't available at Amazon anymore: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But I didn't search hard since I'm not looking to get into this $700/pair fiasco again, but it saved the inspection day - but now a few years later and same issue. I'm probably going to rebuild them with Morimoto projectors and I still have the original housings and may rebuild those as well and sell them here. It's curious that there isn't a solid market for replacement lights at a reasonable price that last what's left of the car's lives out there. Last edited by blackswan; 12-30-2023 at 08:31 AM. |
