Number 3,

sorry about the NO SHOW! Stupid Michigan construction! I must have just missed you. I was coming from the west side and I did not know I-696 was completely closed at I-275...had to take some back roads to get around and it took me almost an hour for what should have been a 30 minute drive at the most! It killed me...I barely slept last night knowing I was going to take a look at it this morning!!! My apologizes...hopefully you were not going out of your way this morning.

Thing ring is blue (my avatar) and red on the IO interior car I have for the weekend.

What I am puzzled by is the pic you have, because when the cluster is lit while driving the ring is illuminated on both cars.

Thanks #3. I sure hope they didn't remove that feature for production. The rings sound like a cool feature. I will ask the question from the guy that posted the pictures. Thanks again.

Question for you #3 -- Sorry if this has already been asked, but I was looking at the pictures that were posted by one of our first recipients and he didn't have any rings on his tach and speedo (like your avatar). How did you get a picture of those rings without numbers? Are the rings there with the numbers too? What say ye? Thanks.

I've figured it out. The outer ring is illuminated when the dimmer switch is on high. When you dim the dash lights, the outer ring goes out. The picture you have is with the interior lights/dash lights turned down which is why you don't see the ring.

I am attaching a link to a video of me getting in the car. You can see the red ring illuminated. Then when I insert the key and turn it on you can see the gage lights on high. As I turn down the lights you can see the outer ring disappear.

Hope that explains it.

Perfect answer Number 3. It's good to know these things instead of scratching your head and wonder. Add another one of your videos to the best Camaro information archive.

Thanks again.

Great video... that's one of the few things I've been wanting to see

Number 3,

I know this has probably been asked before, but I trust your response above all others -- with the RS package, can you drive around with just the Halo's on during the day? (turn DRL's off and Halo's on and drive)
