I got mine from ebay, AFAIK all halos are the same. Wiring is simple, just 2 spliced or tapped wires for each headlight. Install time around 1 hour. I have the chrome ones, but probably getting the black ones.

they werent hard to install at all, you just have to fiddle around and then they go right in(it helps if u unbolt a couple of fender bolts uptop to give you some more room).....i wired mine up to my running lights (2 wires on each side)....every time i arm the alarm they flash, and every time its like "ohhh yeah"... if its your first time doin lights id say about an hour w/ wiring, but next time you do some it will prolly take 30 mins or so..i think the black ones look awesome on red camaro's

ohhh yeah mine were off ebay

Thanks for all of the information. I have made up my mind, the black looks alot better than the chrome ones on a red car. It makes the Camaro look even more mean and agressive than it already does. By the way presto your car is fricken sweet.

check out my cardomain site, has lots of pics. also it really easy to swap the headlights, i did it without instructions and only had the car two months. Once you look at everything its really straight forward and easy.

Are halo headlights bright? Because they dont really look that bright in the pictures. I have never really seen them on a camaro in person so i have never been able to tell how bright they really are? Also would I have to buy new special headlights for them because they look different?

Not new headlights, I mean new bulbs for the lights, because I just bought xenon 7000k's not that long ago, and they are not as blue as i see in everyones pics.

Do the halos themselves require special lights or bulb to make them lok like that or do you just use whatever ones you have?

The halo ring is just a led. You don't need a special bulb. They take standard bulbs for high and low beams just like stockers.

you cant get differnt colored halo rings, they only come in blue. you have to customize it like orange peel did and take the headlight apart and put a different colored led in.
