And there are tons of H13 HID kits on ebay for under $100.

besides being illegal and blinding oncoming drivers, the kit looks great!

If you guys wanted HID's you should have gotten the RS package.

So, Zombie, are you going to be the guinea pig and give 'em a try? I'd be leery. That's awfully cheap, maybe too cheap.

why you surprised all you do is plug it in and change bulb all they had to do is figure out which connectors to clip together that they already had

headlight technology and wiring is basically the same for any manufacture that's why you can go to auto zone and pick up a replacement bulb that fits your car and a lot of others as well

I told you guys that the aftermarket would shine on the Camaro. This part will help LS owners keep up with the RS package, and it will help those whose order for the RS package get theirs. This costs less than the RS package, and that means that buyers who want HIDs for function and don't need the other RS package components. It is good to see the aftermarket jump on the Camaro.

People on the site should not provide any negative feedback for aftermarket parts for a while. We want the aftermarket to embrace this car, so we need to embrace the aftermarket, even if it isn't what we expect right now.

If you don't have construction feedback, then feed your feedback back up your backside.

Sorry, but I would hate for people to get misled that they can skimp on the RS package and get headlights that are as good. The aftermarket stuff will always be sub-par, and often times create issues. And in the case where you have to glue your fog lamps in, it will probably void your warranty.

That is my "construction feedback".

We also offer a whole 4.5" round replacement HID for the foglight... the retail cost is just more.

The replacement fog light kit that we offer is also D.O.T. approved. If you dont want to have to silicone the bulb in.

The reason for that, is because there is no 5202 bulb cast made yet...anywhere! This was the best replacement for the housing without comprimising the integrity of the housing.

I have 100% plug and play 5202 for your fogs. all colors in stock, ready to ship. slim, philips patent ballasts. REALLY nice setup, and best of all, no modding or silicone

jpsuperman81 · 07-10-2009, 09:40 AM

That test car confuses me, why oh why would you pop for 4k + worth of rims and 2k+ worth of body kit and not just get the RS package. A waste in my opinion.

I would suggest going with somebody who is interested in becoming a forum sponsor here over another site. Remember, with eBay kits, you are getting exactly what you are paying for. Forum sponsors, or those of us trying to be once they are available, are going to go the extra mile for you. I was trying out some lower quality ballasts at a group buy request on another forum. One quit working, so I overnighted him the upgraded ballasts at no charge to him. They asked for the low quality so they could pay ebay prices and I took a loss to make sure he was taken care of. Most other sites will not take care of you like that, but reputation is very, very important to forum sponsors. I have since stopped ordering ballasts from any company except 1 because it is not worth selling junk.
