the headlights themselves are ~$680.00 but the wiring is a little involved to get RS headlights to work with non-RS headlight wiring. Quote:
you can make your own halos using clear pvc rods.

EDIT: On second thought, I took a look around the internet and it doesn't seem like it will be very hard to do. I'll have to wait until my car gets here (many many months from now) before I can even attempt to try (need measurements). And I'm gonna have to buy a Dremel tool. If you want to start selling your HALOs, don't worry about me competing or anything. I'm too lazy to mass produce and sell lights, should I be able to make them in the first place.

actually ive already ordered the parts and ima sell them exclusively,if i can even get them to turn out right, for 2010 camaros. and im not gonna go over 100 bucks..actually it may be way WAY less than that..but ill have to add up parts and labor. but the most costly thing is the rods themselves..but i had a brilliant idea i got from a nightlite my fiancee bought for our master bathroom in our room. it has a double helix strand going up the middle of a acrylic tube exactly like the halos..its just a straight 3 inch long acrylic tube with a double helix strand of lines going through it with a blue led under that which illuminates the helix lines..it looks incredible..so ima search now for some longer strands of that particular rod.or other types of clear rods with other designs engraved in them..like those places you can go to have pics and writing put inside glass prisms that set on top of led lights for an optic illusion.i just thought of this while typing..that would be nuts to have writing in your halos thats visible when you look hard at them..LOL..ill have to definately check on those now.

WARNING!!!!!
Before you buy Halos for a non RS packaged car you need to take your headlights off and check them..mine WILL NOT come apart. they are glued together and i cant take them apart..im going to buy some replacement glue then try and take them apart.ill keep you guys posted on this upgrade. but im not even gonna start making the halos till i find out if it is safe to take the headlights apart..we took the housing completely out of the car and i was holding just the housing, without the light. and like i said it was completely glued up. so it may not even come apart. if not that means for us non RS owners well have to pay the mega bucks for the lights that come apart just to take out their halos that we are paying for to replace them with halos that HEY we just paid more money for..LOL...ILL keep you guys posted on if i can take em apart or not and how annoying it was to do so. |

Mohrg, try putting the headlights in the oven for a few minutes. That usually loosens up the glue. But the glue is really sticky and stretchy, so slowly pull off the cover, snip the glue with a knife, and repeat. This should keep the mess down.
