Non-RS to RS Headlight Conversion - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I installed mine with the AAC Harness. Everything works great. But, it isn't easy if your not used to soldering stuff. We weatherproofed the plug with sh*tloads of black elecrical tape. I can't stop staring at my car either. Lol I'm sitting in the waiting room of my doctor's office just staring at my car outside. Awesome.

Here's a few pics...

Here's the oem RS light on the right and an eagle eye headlight on the left.

Pull the diode and your low beams will come on, you just won't have high beams!

Wow. Yours looks awesome! Congrats. Nothing beats the look of those halos! Do you have it so your halos come on with your daytime running light or just at night? Also have you noticed any flickering? I noticed mine seems to flicker if you turn on the high beams during the day but they are perfect at night Im assuming it has something to do with the automatic light sensor..but like I said I am still waiting for a call back from ottobody but again Congrats!

Nothing compares to the oem.

I disabled my drl by modding my switch. I haven't noticed any flickering at all. Also I wired my halos to my running lights, so when I hit the fogs the halos turn on. The halos don't really exactly match, so I'm gonna replace 'em later. For now it's all good tho, their not that noticeable as I thought.

Here's a new mod I did, like Erk before me. I cut the left pin on the orange bulbs (the left side when 'sylvania' is facing you) now I can run my halos just like an RS. Thanks Erk! If you notice on the pics on top the orange lights are on. Now they're off. And blink only.

AuSStinVRCamaro · 03-09-2011, 08:22 PM

Awesome! I didnt even realize that before I was thinking of changing the blinkers to the led ones from aac so they are always on I think it was actually erk who I got the idea from but if I don't do that I'll be sure to go this route! Thanks! Yours looks like a true rs! Did you get your headlight new?

Tx1Lt · 03-09-2011, 08:34 PM

I got 'em used for $750 I think. I love these lights.

AuSStinVRCamaro · 03-10-2011, 01:51 AM

Finally some pictures!

Sorry it took so long but here you go! Ill try to take some pictures in the morning.

Last one is just showing where I hooked up the halos too in case any were wondering!

PCOLASHAN · 03-10-2011, 02:26 AM

Can you give further detail on how you did this?? Right now my DRL are on with my Halo's, I would like them off and only to use them as blinkers. Please see my picture, just want to make sure this is the clip you are talking about??? Thanks!

The old Ottobody harness has what looks likes like a fuse box attached in the middle of the harness in which the diode sits in, the new harness the diode is in the plastic sleeve. Hope that helps!!
