2015 non-rs headlights HID KIT - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello everyone, new member here

So I got the 2015 SS with non-rs lights. Can't handle it. I would love a retrofit or an entire unit all together, but it's a lease, not worth it. Therefore, I'm just looking for an HID kit for my headlights.

I did some research around this forum and majority seems pre 2014 models. And from what I gathered, some minor headlight changes were made for the 2014-2015 models. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This isn't my first kit, as I've bought numerous kits in the past. Never spent more than $100 (no, not eBay kits) so I'm not looking to spend anything more than $140, so this excludes BFXENON for me. I know they're with quality, but I just find $200+ ridiculous for an HID kit.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, the 2015 models use H11's with 35W. I've also read if you get more wattage you're risking melting the housing?
Anything you guys recommend?

I found these 3 so far. Anyone used these guys?

Hmmm, here's my two cents worth on this one. I went the brand name route first and spent almost $100 on my first set.One side failed within 3 months,they honored warranty and replaced but happened again within 2 weeks.So I bought another set off ebay for $35 and have had them 2 years so far and still good.Sometimes the money doesn't matter, use your best judgement.Good luck!

Thanks for your response!
I went with option #3. I know canbus is better than the slim ones but the staff said "I don't need it." And they know better than me so I went with those. Hopefully it lasts longer than 3 months!

So what good is your post if you don't tell us who the mysterious Name brand is .

Sorry about that, they were Kensun. But I am sure there are many people out there who have had luck with them so I am not trying to say that brand is crap. Just trying to express that sometimes you don't always get what you pay for. For instance ask some of the guys who shelled out for those Technostalgia tail lights, lol. Just sayin,sometimes cheaper might be same or better.
