I like the thought of the halos, but one thing that really bothers me is that the lights don't match up with the lines of the hood.

For me, it only seems that neutral colors can get away with it, silver, white, black. Yours is one of the better looking cars with halos I've seen.

^^Thanks

What is everybody's opinion on the stripes? Should I keep them, lose them, or get wider ones?


Here is what the car would look like without the stripes...

I bought mine on K2 motors on the net and my only problem originally was that the lights didn't match up with the hood but after installing them I think in a way they do. Imo they match my car perfectly.

Halos and corners look really good. I put them on my silver car also. Be warned though, my passenger side corner light got mad water in it. And I agree with losing the stripes.

i was thinking about getting the corners only,
but one of my headlights is more cloudy than the other.

i like the idea of the black "trim" around the headlights, but don't know if i like the idea of halos on a camaro.
then again i put them on my wrangler,

looks good,
do the halos get wired into the parking lamps somehow ??

do the halos stay on when you have the headlights on ??
