For those who don't want to make holes in their vehicle, here's a Knight Rider product that plug n' play for the 2010 Camaro.

I just got mine in from AAC. I'm having it installed by a professional. They were concerned about the cutting and how it would look. They also asked about any problems with the strip bowing out from long term stress after time and heat. Have you had any problems with this?

the video makes this product look bad. the lights dont flow right and it looks real choppy

oh, so the factory plastic-grille insert just sits over the LED's? VERY NICE. that was one of the last questions i was waiting to have answered.

I know I ask this about all of your products but is there a way to diffuse the LEDs on the scanner and also on your fog lights?

I don't think so. The plastic vent over the led would be to thick. Plus wouldn't Shia through.

So I installed my scanner light from AAC today. Was pretty easy, I used a dremel to cut out the corners. I was able to mold the light a little by heating the center of the light, fits like a dream! The only problem is, IT TURNS ON BY ITS SELF!!! I was driving home and everyone suddenly moves out of my way, well the lights were on! I say "Oh sh$#"! Does anyone have the same problem? Could it be were I grounded it? I used one of the existing holes used for the metal plate on the facia, I had to scrape some paint off to make contact. When it turns on by its self, it wont respond to the remote. Help Guys!
