Do fog light Halos remove the need of fog light bulbs? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As the title says, I have a 2SS/RS with plasma and the harness that keeps the DRL on all the time even with the headlights. What would fog light halos do with this set up as I feel like the RGB halos would look weird with the bluish white plasmas? Would I just take my bulb out? Would that throw a code? Thank you for the help?

I have the bulbs out of mine, no code. Its not needed imo the rings look better with nothing inside of them.

I keep them both hooked up. I default my DRLs to be dark and my DRL halo to green as the DRL would wash out most of the halo in appearance.

That said, I'm fixing to install some diodes and tap the headlight so that when the lights come on at night, the DRL LED will come on too. As I have it setup now, the DRL halo runs on a separate NightOwl DL module which powers through the 87a on a relay. The headlights trigger that relay breaking the circuit so the DRL halos are off at night.

Don't run an HID bulb inside your fog lights with a halo as well. It will cause the halo to fail prematurely.
