It's going to be h13 and your hoping to need a kit with the bulbs and Balasts honestly I would never go without projectors but if you want cheap that's cheap here what I did I did a projector retro fit h1 with colorshift 2.0 halos for about 600 with 5000k pure white bulbs it's a better cut off than the RS headlights... 4300k is factory and is a yellow ish light 5000 is pure white and 6000k is bluish and 8000k is blue. Remember the color other drivers see is alps effected by the projector for example the RS headlights are 4300k but they look blue white when you look at them from a distance

Camaro2lt sells OEM RS headlights for around $800 dollars. Shoot him a PM.

Putting HIDs in the halogen housing is illegal...
Getting the RS lights as stated above is your best bet... plus Ofer's harness so they work.

I have the HIDs from AAC. Bright white is 6000k. You will need a kit with the ballasts. Get the Bi-xenon if you want to put your lights on bright.

To be honest we have never used the brights since putting them on. The HIDs are great.

I thought it was a standard package with the LT. Well at least with the 2011.

EDIT: I learned something new.
