No problem. The green taillight indicator should also show up on your tach.

I have my halos on everytime I drive. Not a fan of the DRL dim light look. The best part of the day is when it's starting to get dark, but not dark enough to where you have to put the headlights on before you wreck because of low visibility,lol.

I have my DRLs wired to be on when I turn on the halos. I love the look of both of them on. Since they're LEDs they should have thousands of hours of operation life.

Got field goal kit, drls and halos on together. I run them all the time.

There is only 1 led per halo, last damn near forever.

I 'click' right to halos automatically in my 45th. It has become as second nature as releasing the parking brake and shifting into vroom.

I have to remind myself to click back to auto lights when I pull into my office's parking deck.

Like Belle, I have a long commute that I did not have when I got the car.

It is fun to drive and I enjoy it. All those miles and no 'real' problems.

Back on topic, I love the HALOs. That was one BIG reason I got the RS.

I've entertained the notion that you can tell a Camaro enthusiast when you meet them on the road because they have their halo's on Of course, not all Camaro lovers have halo's or drive with them on... but when you see one with them on, I bet they really love their car

I also have my drl's and halos interconnected, so they both stay on any time the car is on. There is a thread here in the DIY sections that tells you how, its about a $5.00 mod for anyone who wants to do it.

i also have the colorshift lights from AAC, but here in LA it is illegal to run any color except white and amber if the front and sides and red and white in the back and nothing can flash.

I've had my factory halos apart. There is one LED per halo that is positioned to light the entire plastic ring by itself. The hardest part about getting to them is having to bake your headlight assemblies and prying them apart. If you are good with electrical it wouldn't be difficult to replace the single LED with one from radio shack or elsewhere. They also last a very long time. I wouldn't worry to much. The factory LED is one bright little diode that we had alot of fun blinding our electrical teacher in class with.
