I know, its been asked a million time already and I have read the threads, but it seems that there are too many answers. :(
So I will ask it one more time.
Who has the ORACLE P13W Bulbs that Comes with a FREE DRL Harness which enables the DRL to act as a FOG light and remain on with the headlights and halos while also protecting the LED bulb from the harmful PWM Signal from the DRL current on the RS Camaro from AAC.?
Any trouble with this light and harness and how good is their Warranty?

The "harness" is not free--it's about $9--almost free. Contact AAC. The new Plasma LED's are supposed to be immune to the PWM problem--we'll see. I just installed the plasmas today.

Its funny there is supposedly a pulse width modulated problem with these LED bulbs...

Mine have been perfect for over 15,000 miles...

lol thats because there is, they have a new bulb though that has something to built in to get around that

I have the old style ones the harness, mine are the ones with no protection and I have no electrical issues other than some PCMCIA LED's don't work. I do have issues with the LED's not working and some of them have fallen off and are sitting in the bottom of the lens are. They offered me an upgrade for $30+ shipping for the plasmas so I'm pulling them today. The plasma ones look much better. Their side marker lights look really hot!

Is this the same problem for the Non RS car?

No. We don't have P13w bulbs. We have 5202 bulbs.

Our RS SS uses the P13w bulbs just to be clear on the matter.

I have the old p13w's and the harness and no electrical problems here. All my LED's are working, but one bulb separated from the base which I superglued back together and no more issues after that. AAC has a lifetime warranty on them.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-16-2011, 12:15 PM

I know the bulbs are not the same, But 1 lost one of the LED fog bulbs last week and pulled it only to see that the bulb was bad and it looked like it was burned The + lead of the bulb.

Sounds like a current limiting or surge issue.

the new Plasma bulbs are very nice! AAC has the adapter for $9 to keep them on
