Putting GM HID/halo's into a car without the RS package is impossible. You will have to go aftermarket if you want this effect.

For more information, use the search function and read the dozen other threads on this matter.

why would it be impossible, I believe I saw on a thread that it is hard (you have to take off the front fascia) but other than that it should all be the same wiring and the headlights are the same style.

It is not impossible at all, just expensive. You just need to buy the RS lights, wiring, and misc parts and swap them in, the catch is they are over $600 each light.

I'm waiting for the aftermarket to make an equal product. I won'o halos until they can copy the OEM style and make it affordable.

Not the same wiring. Plus you would need to reprogram the BCM, and the DRL's would make your HID's flicker and burn out in short order.

The best way to get the RS package is to order or buy the RS package with the car. It is a really good deal for what you get.
