Help building an RS

I just bought my 2011 Camaro LS and am currently trying to build it into an RS. I already have the fog lights and currently waiting for my spoiler to arrive and install it. All I need is the halo headlights and the RS tail lights, I have been looking online and I noticed that some headlights say (RS, and others say Non-RS) my question is does the size of the headlights differ from a RS to my LS? And should I get the (Non-RS) headlights.

Non RS is what came on your car, RS headlights are completely different, not only do they have halos but they are also projector HID headlights. To get them to work you will need to get a wiring harness adaptor.
There are vendors on the forum that sell them.

Thank you Angrybird but I just checked in with my local Chevy dealership and they told me that they will charge me $1400 for each headlight😱. I might just have to get some aftermarket halos that say non-RS.

Check ebay and junk yards.

Look at the Gm part stores online. Some of them sale them for $900 apiece. Still expensive but save you a little bit of money.

Buy a used set here on the forums. I've seen them sell for as little as 500 for the pair (RS headlights)

On the headlights look through eBay I'm sure you'll find a good set for $500. Then buy a harness from 5thGenDIY. RS tail lights are a dime a dozen on eBay.
