Lightbulb Help Show Me The Light

Hey guys!

I am looking for someone to help show me the light... literally! haha.

I have a 2013 Camaro 2LS with halogen lamps. I want to take out the entire headlights and install some new HID/Halo/Eagle Eye headlights.

The Halo's must be DRL/turned on at night too. (essentially, anytime my car is turned on, i would like the Halos to be on too)
My question is.. Which One?!

1) $399 for Headlight + colourshift halo V- 2.0
Chevrolet Camaro V.2 Fusion Colorshift halo kit (2010-2013)

2) DUAL CCFL Only $295. I would add a HID to this for $30. So total: $325

3) Single CCFL - $305
10-11 Chevy Camaro Black CCFL Halo Projector Headlights Driver Passenger Pair | eBay

4) Another Dual CCFL - but this looks totally different from the other one. $305

5) Flash tech again - but this is the Version 1.0. It is $70 cheaper, so $329 total.
Chevrolet Camaro V.1 Fusion Colorshift halo kit (2010-2013)

I have no idea which one to get.. In the pictures, they all look different, but do you think there will be that big of a difference?

Stuff I like:
CHEAP! I can't spend more than $400 total for my headlights/HIDs.
I like the bold, thick, halo. Compared to a cheap skinny one.
I cannot do the RS Halo's because they are too expensive
I have heard of retrofitting - but how much does that cost? My budget is $400.

Please help guide me in any direction possible.. Any input is greatly appreciated. And if you have any links to websites/ebay listing, please send them my way.

I am looking to purchase these headlights in the next 1-3 days so any input is a huge help to me.

Thanks everyone and have a fantastic day!!

Get #3, upgrade with a H11 Hid kit and be done with it. I have them on mine and no problems.

hey!

If you did our version 1 we could do the package for $399.00 and include a blaze hid kit for you. that will be the cheapest i think we could go and about half the cost of the competition!

How long have you had these? I was thinking about getting them along with the ZL1 grille and installing them this spring.

Why are you posting the same question again in a different thread? If your budget is only 400, good luck getting halo's and HID. It will end being garbage IF you end up finding anything

Not true. You can get eagle eyes off eBay for around 300 and get a HID kit for around 100. Sounds like 400 to me and not garbage.

I'm personally doing the 3rd one. I have the lights already but it's a Christmas present from my wife so I gotta wait til Christmas to install on my car. I also ordered my hid kit from theretrofitsource.com. Hands down best hid around.

If you go with #1 you will have regular head lights with LED halos where you said you don't want to see the LEDS. and you can't upgrade to HID's. If you got with #3, you have Projector head lights with a single CCFL ring and you can upgrad to HID's.
One of these days you have to make up your mind. Your lease will be up preaty soon.

What's the cutoff look like with your projectors? I got a quote recently from a new store opening up in Houston and at first they quoted me a price for installing an HID kit with halos but that was without the projectors. I'd hate to be "that guy" with non rs reflectors with scattered HIDs blinding the ever loving bejesus out of people on the road.

My previous car was a GTI with HIDs and I just have a hard time going back to halogens so I'm also looking at all of my options but am a nursing student and work part time so need to save some cash.

Appreciate any feedback!
