I 100% agree, and cant wait also, that was the first thing i looked at, seems like it couldnt be too hard, the way gm builds things, there is probably one wiring harness, and for RS cars it just would have a blank pin in the headlight switch connector, so hopefully you can get non RS headlight switch, and the proper pin for the headlight connector, and well its all speculation at this point, but hopefully you can find a fog light(DRL in the RS cars) circuit and power the trigger side of said relay and bam, shouldnt see why it would be too hard to make the fog lights work when the headlights are on



Anyway this is one of the very minor tweaks that Chevy missed, but no one is perfect and this is gonna be a great car.

Good Job Chevy!!!

Any wiring schematics yet? Thats always helpful. A component locator would be good too.

I also will be waiting for some sparky to figure out how to get the driving/fog lights on the 2SS/RS to work with the Halos or a switch that would independently turn on and off the fog/driving lights.

TLSTWIN, that's easy, I'll post it up as soon as I get my car, I'll jumper the hot side of the side marker/halo lights relay to the hot side of the fog lights relay. It's that simple. I've done it on every car I've had that came with foglights

GM didn't miss anything IMHO, I'm sure this was quite intentional. The halos replace the fogs as DL's when the headlights are off but halos are on. The fogs are not HID, the headlights are and the halos match the color of the HID's, the fogs don't match the color of them. It's set up that way so the colors don't mismatch.

I also plan on modding it to work with both, but only after I have some HID's in the fog lights or at very least some brighter & color appropriate bulbs in them.

Now it would have been better if it came from the factory with matching fog lights, but that would have cost more and not anywhere near as many people would be willing to pay more for that, most only care about the main HID's.

I personally would rather be able to controll them separatly still.

As would I, but if it is a simple and easy connection, I might be good with that...

Why does it say subwoofer NA, I thought there was supposed to be an option to hook up a sub.
