i have a 2013 ls camaro and it didnt come with halogen headlamps. i just put in some oracle fog lights and now have almost blue foglights and factory offwhite(almost yellow) head lamps. i was lookin around at bulbs to buy. my question is can i buy halogen head lamps and just put them in? or should i buy a new wiring harness and or headlight built for halogen heat itl'l be putting off?

thanks for help

I think you might have it backwards. LS Camaros come with Halogen lights and not HID lights.

Sounds like you might have bought some HID foglights. Probably 6000k or 8000k. You're pretty much not going to ever get a Halogen bulb to match. You might need to look into retrofitting some HID headlights.

yeah that helps. i found a bulb that's supposed to be "halogen nitro blue" and from the looks of the picture it's pretty close to matching the hid. thanks for help!
