Just send him an e-mail. He responds the same day. I don't think he gets on the forum much since he's not currently a sponser.

Also there were no directions on the box, but I assume the "lower" fuse socket is for the original item, and the "upper" fuse socket is for the accessory your adding, in this case halos? I want my halos to be on all the time when the car is on, and I'll have someone disable my DRL's with a tech2 at some point, and so i'll have halo DRLs and xenon lows and highs. So back to the numbers.... #61??

#61 didn't work... The halo's would only work when the heated mirror switch was pushed. I ended up using number 15, the Ignition. Halos are on when the car is running.

You are correct on this.

l008com · 07-15-2010, 11:20 PM

Hah yeah I had the same problems and also ended up using #15. I used the spare 15 amp fuse for the halos. Someday I'll stop by autozone and see if I can find a 1 amp fuse for them. Even that is overkill but 15x less overkill at least. They sure do look sick though. The OTTO harness is nice. It's actually two harnesses. And no sketchy connectors like the AAC. The OTTO harness just plugs right in between each light and the factory connector. You just have to wire up the halo lights yourself. The only downside... they have no web site to speak of and suck at responding to emails, so it took me about two months to actually order the harness.

Well maybe this is a question that somebody asked before, but here it goes.

I have the 1LT RS Camaro and was wondering if buying the light switch (GM) with the fog light option button will get me to have headlights and foglights on at will?

Or will it take the switch (mentioned above) and some update to the computer (ECM)?

Any help will be appreciated.

Pics? I'm thinking about running it to one of these fuses instead of the parking lights

amanc96 · 07-16-2010, 07:06 PM

Nothing special. I picked up the add-a-circuit part from autozone. I like this route better so then I don't have to have the parking lights on. I used christianmotox's method on disabling the headlight DRLs and just use the Halos as my DRLs.

SirPhobos1 · 07-16-2010, 10:15 PM

Picked up the add-a-circuit tonight, along with some low amp fuses. How many amps do you think I should toss in? I think the lowest I have is a 2A or 3A.

l008com · 07-16-2010, 11:11 PM

I've been told the halo's are LEDs, if that's the case, then they should draw far less than one amp.

That's what I've heard as well. I'll use the smallest I've got and see what happens. 2A is probably more than plenty.

I have a question for you guys on here; the headlight housing on a "Non-RS" is different from the "RS" version? If so, how much does it cost for & where did you purchase them from???
