If you werent sure about them why did you buy them? Theres plenty of red camaros with them installed already so Im sure you knew what it would look like beforehand. Anyway I think it looks nice, fill in the holes in the bumper and it will be perfect.

I think they look good, but I don't plan on buying them. Looks great on your red car though.

yea what he said, all the pictures I seen on my searches were magazine style shots and I couldnt really tell how it would turn out. As for the install questions they were really easy to install. To get them to slide in easier tighten down the adjustment screws pretty far and pop he light in. Once theyre in you can loosen them back up till you get them where you want them. The wireing is also pretty easy. I did like another guy on the board and wired them to my fog lights. Im testing this set up out for a while if I dont like it Ill move them to my parking lights.

I asked a body shop about filling in the holes and they said that it was an area that flexes a lot and would probably just crack or the filler would fall out. Has anybody had this done? if so have you had any problems?

I'm in the same boat, just bolted my Black Halos on and am already considering selling them...

I am about to pull them back off and Whistler mod them now... I think it's just more bling (chrome) than I am used to...

To CLARIFY before people post questions:

YES they are the BLACK HALOS like his...

BUT they still have chrome buckets...

SO I will Whistler mod them by just leaving the very back chrome
