@@RealNigga0190 i hope too bro! Only time can tell. What years yours?
@@ItsNatesArt 2015. is only an ls but I'm not complaining
Awesome camaro, great video my friend. ‘14 1SS here...X-Pipe, superflow bullets, K&N.
Great content brother 👍🏼
Thank you so much for this video!!!
GRIND NO EXCUSES thank you! I really appreciate that!
Thank you I bought all the LED lights and my Camaro looks ever better, I get many compliments for the Fog lights, they match the Halo DRLs and HIDs flawlessly, thanks again for the great video.
AndrewNiccals no problem! Glad you are enjoying them.
Thanks for what you do 😉
Nice and easy vid, thank you. (Just left Oregon after 56 years btw. Lived in a small town outside of Eugene.)
That’s awesome!
Nice video man! Cool car!
freespeechisdead isdead thanks!
Your voice sounds so good with my car radio 🤤🤤
Nice vid bro
I went to the website but I'm curious which lights did you buy as far as the lumens. Like the fog lights, 280 or the 510?
Everything works good but when I drive and have my lights in automatic the passenger fog light turns on idk why. If the car is in park and its in automatic during the day all the lights are off...but as soon as i put it in drive the passenger fog light turns on. Do you know why?
Awesome video man. Love the car!
Nasty 2SS I appreciate it! I have basically watched all your videos, you're one of the reasons I started making them!
MartiArtisan That’s awesome man! I’m glad someone is still watching lol. I fell off for a while and I’m having trouble getting viewers again. Anyways, keep it up man. Can’t wait to see the next video!
Nasty 2SS I wouldn't worry too much about it man. Views are nice, but as long you enjoy making vids and have fun while you do it, that's all that matters! Not really sure what the next mods will be, undecided on which route to go first as far as looks or performance. That cam on your car is pretty sweet.. I have relatively low miles so idk
MartiArtisan yeah, you’re right! Either way, can’t wait to see what you do next man
Nasty 2SS sounds good man! The same goes for you
Lol I did this when I got my rs camaro the very first month props to you
Mau Baca it’s a super simple mod that greatly improves the look of our cars!
I love it how it blinds people on the opposite direction
Did you buy the hd halo from diode dinamics?
Which fog and map lights you go with they have different levels
great job, thank you for the detailed video.!! i have a 2012 LT. JUST REPLACED stock DRL'S, with the stock # 5202(incedencent bulb) . still yellow, but i have yellow headlights, so i have to match. !!
- MrRIchBiker thanks! That’s awesome. What color is your LT?!
hey brother, its Black ..LT1 Auto. not to many mods, mostly the k and n C.A.I. . You have an awesome color. thanks agin for the vid. stay in touch. peace.
- MrRIchBiker very cool! Yeah I only have a cai and an axel back, with a few other little things. Nothing major at the moment. I have to much fun driving it with or without mods.
You’re welcome man. Will eventually start posting more videos on the car. Good talking with you. Catch ya later!
I'll say. I have a 2010 camaro. Its victory red. And honestly I like the offset of the amber tinted fog lamps with the HID headlights. Sets off the red on black. Still looks good though.
Hey so I just bought the fog lights and every other lights that you bought and just installed everything! It looks awesome! But quick question, for every other light, did you buy the highest lumens for each light? I was wondering because in the dark none of mine look as bright as they did in your video except for the fog lights :/ thanks :)
:(
hey awesome video! just wondering what model of the lights you used for the fogs?

Marti Artisan did you get the 280 or 510 lumens?
Hi I have a question do you think the DRL harness work on 2014 camaro ls
OscarHN5star yes it should
How do you change the thing in the middle of the two speedometers where it says average fuel economy I can’t find how to change it
easton tumis there should be a button on the back of the turn signal switch that controls the center screen
dude looks like a young Michael Rosenbaum. great vid by the way.
Great video. I just posted some camaro 50 mods
OnlineCarShow thanks! I’ll check it out
So about 8 years ago, I went to add led tail light and the computer did not recognize it, low voltage. Does the harness fix that issue?
I am not sure about that. It might. I would have to research it a little more!
How much you spend on the whole thing? Also, your headlights are the factory ones you didn’t change anything?
Jhon Gia headlights are factory and if I remember right I spent $94 for everything at the time of making this video
Probably a stupid question but the harness if for each side? Or just bought it once for one side?
Armando Rivas no such thing as a stupid question! You only need one harness! Plugs in on the passenger side.
Where can I buy this harness?
Some years ago I changed the DLR lights of my 2012 SS to led lights and they are so bright, its awsome. They came with the harness to delete the DRL function and leave them as fog lights but decided not to install it for one reason: they are so bright that if you keep them on at night it will bother oncaming traffic massively and I don´t think that is the right thing to do to fellow drivers. I hate when you cross someone at night that is using bright led lights, is annoying and is also dangerous. Tthat´s why I use mines only as DLR, out of respect for them and for safety reasons.
Does each fog light need a harness or is just one needed?
Mario Velazquez just one harness is needed
Hey just wanted to ask what do you think of the 2010 v8
I really enjoy it! Haven’t had any mechanical issues and the power is nice!
What is the best 5th or 6th gen because I want a 2010 but I can find an almost new one for the same price
finger lickins I like the body style of the 5th gen more than the 6th gen (personal preference). Unless you are looking for a specific color than I would definitely look at the 2013s. They have a little more options than the 2010. The reason I went for the 2010 was for the ABM paint color
My 2010 has been flawless, I have cold air intake, long tube headers, full exhaust and high flow cats, custom tune. Never had a single issue, never went in for any warranty work. You can find parts cheap now like long tubes, spoilers etc.
Are your stripes vinyl or painted on got those on my car want then off
Mine are the factory vinyl option. I am kind of wanting them off as well since they are slowly fading throughout the years. The only thing that I am worried about and read on the forums is that when you remove them, the paint underneath is still fresh (no scratches or anything). Also there might be an outline of where the stripes once were. I am sure with a nice detail it would probably come out.
Just got my stripes off after 11 years , careful work patients,and a little help from a heat gun. The sooner you get it off the easier it will come off.
How much do you think it will cost to lease a 2012 camaro lt only 216 a month at $14k with 67k miles
Jesus Cardenas generally you can’t lease used cars, unless they’re luxury or exotic cars. When they do allow it, it generally doesn’t financially make sense for the buyer. This is because your monthly payment for a 48 month loan is often way less than the monthly payment for the 36-39 month used lease.
I love Camaros, and just bought a ‘15 this past weekend. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
Where did you buy that harness
neuz acuzar Amazon! Link is in the description!
Great video, love the color of the car looked like a hot wheels edition?
Thanks man! It’s not the hot wheels edition, but the car does have the slp rims from the hot wheels camaro. I will most likely be changing them out here soon though.
My car is a 2010 in the Aqua Blue Metallic which was only made in that year. Took me over a year to find one with all the specifics and mileage I was looking for, but definitely worth the wait!
Definitely worth the wait I'd say.
I have SLP wheels myself and you don't see them on many Camaros. mine are chrome tho.
Jason Boudreau that’s awesome, I like the look of the chrome ones! What color and year is yours?
It's a 2013 2ss victory red, I just followed you in Instagram you can check mine out if you want. 🍻
Jason Boudreau beautiful car! It looks great. I love the victory red and I’m envious of that supercharger
I'm looking at Diode Dynamic web site. Which lumens did you use for the DRL's??? I'm guessing Cool White HP48 (280 lumens), Do you still like the HP5 (92 lumens) for the map light. Seems like its REALLY bright... Thanks for the video
Duane Scott yes the DRL’s are the HP48! I still like the HP5 map lights but they are really bright. Not very subtle when on! If you want something that is SUPER bright then I’d go with those, but if not then you’ll be fine with the next lumens down. Hope this helps!
Can you do a list of what you installed please
does anyone know what those halos are called that he has in the vid?
Alison Alan they are the oem factory hid headlights that come with halos.
do I have to buy two harnesses or just one and which side should be if only one
You only need to buy one harness and it will be located on the passenger side
I hear it a lot of problems with bulb burn out fast do u have any problems if not, please which brand should I buy
Louie Dakamseh I have had the diode dynamics bulbs for almost a year now with no issues. I have also used their products on other vehicles in the past and never had a burn out problem. I would recommend purchasing your bulbs through diode dynamics. Their bulbs come with a 3 year limited replacement warranty so if it’s a manufacture defect they will replace. Just so you know, I am in no way affiliated with diode dynamics and I’m not getting paid to make this video/say this. Just feel like they make a really good products and will continue to use them. Hope this helps.
What type of head light bulbs do you have?
james Gonzalez I just have the factory headlight bulbs!
james Gonzalez I have the stock yellow b.s. lights lol
Was going to get the led lights but I stuck with all stock. Get getting rid of the car soon it has 87,000 miles on a 2012 already
Where did you buy that grill?
It’s the oem heritage grill. You can get it from Chevy or online. Had it color matched to the vehicle
Marti Artisan thanks!!
JR BORIQUA7 no problem!!
How much was the whole kit ? And do you have to wire a switch inside the car for the DRL to go with that harness?
J Pugh between everything I think I paid around $85. The lights were all ordered through diode dynamics and the harness through amazon. Have experienced no issues and everything works great! With the harness the drls are always on. I was thinking about looking into wiring a switch in the near future.
The license plate light emitting diodes modification causes the computer to register lower voltage than nominal on the ZL1 because they use less electricity; consequently, the "Service StabiliTrak" message accompanied by an annoying chime will show up in the driver information center every time. Also the computer will set a permanent code which will then need to be cleared with external software. Not a good modification to make.
I have a Black and red RS Camaro, and I would love to make my Halos red to match the color scheme
James Hurt check out diode dynamics! They offer a multicolor halo led board, which allows you too change the color of your halos any color you’d like. The install looks fair simple too, other then you have to open you headlight housings. I have been looking into them and might do the install in the future.
Thanks, I will look into it. I have lights inside that I can change the color as well. Thanks for quick response
Just a FYI, doing that would be highly illegal here in the US as colored headlights are used by emergency vehicles and therefore the ticket is harsh. Not worth it IMO. Just a heads up - but if you do plan on it, Diode Dynamics or Phastek Performance has you covered.
@@SKgaming14 not illegal unless flashing
Hmm, I have a 10 SS/RS, but I put a oem Zl1 front end on, so in day the lights like yours are the drl and go off at night, but wondering if I buy this harness will the headlights/halo, fogs and drl stay on at night, not sure if it's even legal. I had to use a harness simular to this for the halo and drl to stay on at same time I think, been a few years. I added some cheap aqua blue leds from Amazon for interior, was like $8 and been in a few years no issues and look good.
Awesome! I just bought a 2012, can I do this with mine?
Yes, I did it with my Lt coupe
Mel H yes you can!
yes
Hello again. Back for another small question....have you ever driven your Camaro in snow of any kind? Here in the southern end, we get a lot of snow. Just curious if you had some kind of experience with the vehicle in it. I’m still in the convincing stage with the wife. Trying to prove to her that it IS a practical vehicle. Not just a “super fast car that’s going to be my end”.
vettefreakXXII I have driven it in the snow before, it isn’t the best experience. You just have to take it slow like any rwd car! It is doable though depending on the conditions. A good set of tires definitely improve the situation.
I have a 2010 SS 2ss , ls3 manual .y car is AMAZING I'm the snow ! I was very , very surprised ! Maybe cause it's a manual and it's heavy , idk, but it ran great in unpaved snow and ice , I didnt get stuck once I'm implowed roads either . The car went right thru it like it was a 4wd !atne cause I started off on second and it has position traction , the car pulled very nicely right thru the snow and on ice . Had it up to over 40 mph on the roads and I was passing cars and trucks with it also. Idk how the auto does, but the manual goes right thru it cause you can select your gears to help you along . I use good year eagle sport tires , of other had snow tires it would have been AMAZING !
Well, my 2010 SS is horrible in snow. Actually couldn't drive it since wouldn't even go a foot, but I have uhp tires that are summer only. Even on ice it's scarey. But in summer can take corners really fast with zero slide.
do you have to buy 2 harnesses? for each side ?
Just one!!
Awesome thanks man. That’s what I thought just had to be sure
Greg Ghazarian no problem
I see that as a 1st to 4th skip shift eliminator
Basically he is just changing lights lol
Do I need the harness if I own a 2015
Joseph Calabrese No this harness is just for 5th gens 2010-2013
Which one did you get for the map that ones bright!
I got the HP5 bulb for the map lights! They are very bright, almost too bright!
MartiArtisan Awesome thanks !
No problem!
That harness goes to both fog lights or only one?
Jhon Gia you only need one harness for it work with both drl fogs
Have a question? Feel free to ask it below!!
MartiArtisan do i need a harness for each side? Or just one for the passengers side?
El JERO you only need one harness!
MartiArtisan thank you sir. Just got my camaro 2 days ago and I’m doing the basic mods
El JERO no problem! That’s awesome, how do you like it so far?
MartiArtisan tbh I’m impressed it’s a well made car. Good power and handles great. I will remove my clutch spring because the clutch is kind of weird. But other than that it’s a great car.
The DRL harness didn't work for my european 2013 Camaro SS... :(
Im sorry to hear that! I wonder what is different about the European vs US models
I know we have xenon headlights, instead of HID... I wish I would find the picture I took back then to show you the harness...
I'm driving up to Portland this week to look at a 2014 2lt RS, what are the most important things to check would you say?
Just take a good look all around it, inside/out/underneath. If you take it for a test drive, drive it with the radio off. Feel how it shifts and listen for any out of the ordinary noises in general. Other than that best of luck!
Can i do mine on a camaro 2010 RS?
Yes
Fantastic looking car!
I have a small inquiry regarding your Camaro if you don't mind my asking ^_^
So, I have been car shopping for a couple months, narrowed it down to a couple vehicles. One being something like yours, "2010ish" Camaro, or a similar Subaru Impreza/WRX (NOT Sti). Personally? I'm leaning more towards the Chevy. Basically the same mpg as the WRX if not a little better........and from a massive, albeit a small block V8 with more than twice the displacement! Seriously Subaru?
I am concerned about the back seats though. Not that many people would be riding in the back, it's just my wife and I for now.
How tall are you? Can you yourself fit in the back with someone in front of you?
I apologize for firing off questions like a mad man. Just looking for a little insight from a REAL owner.
That, aaaaaaand I noticed Oregon plates!! ^_^ I'm from a little town no one has ever heard of called Lakeview in the southern end. East of Kfalls by about 100 miles.
Anyway, thank you for your help. Monumentally appreciated!!
vettefreakXXII thanks! I don’t mind at all. That’s interesting that those are the vehicles you potentially narrowed it down too! A little back history. I used to own a 2011 Camaro rs with the v6. I wound up selling it for a 2012 Subaru wrx. Had that for about 4 years, and recently picked up this 2010 Camaro ss! I’m a little biased as I love the camaro, always have. I am 6’3. I can fit in both vehicles comfortably. With that being said there are pros and cons to both cars. The Subaru has awd which is really nice especially if you plan to drive the car year round. It is a 4 door so their is a true back seat. If you decide on a hatch, you’ll have a lot more storage space in the rear. I picked up the wrx sedan, so trunk space is comparable to the camaro. It was a fun car to have but quality I found wasn’t the best. It seemed a little cheap, a lot of plastic, and the paint chipped so bad from daily driving. Also the wrx only comes in manual transmission. This might be a deal breaker for some.
As far as the camaro goes. This is my second camaro and I really enjoy it. If you get the ss/rs leather seats, Boston acoustics sound system, and a v8 engine are really nice!! The power isn’t comparable. The camaro just feels like a true muscle car. You can make Subarus really fast though. There is a back seat in the camaro but I have yet to use it in the v8. When I had the v6 I used it quite often, filled with 4 people. Both front seats need to be moved forward to accommodate someone in the back. If I were to sit in the back seat of the camaro, my head would be pretty close to the head liner, but the seats are fairly comfortable. Would I sit in the back on a long trip? Probably not.
Gas mileage. In the Subaru I averaged between 20-23mpg with a mix of highway/city driving. In the camaro if I drive it nicely the best I’ve gotten is 19.7. I probably average 17mpg with mixed driving. These numbers are subject to your driving patterns and the mods you have done.
Both cars are nice and I think you’d enjoy either one. For a family the Subaru is probably more practical in all honesty. If I were to do it all over again, in my personal position, I would still choose a camaro.
I have heard of Lakeview but never been there. Have been to kfalls a handful of times though. I really hope this helps and clears up some questions you have. If you think of any other questions or concerns feel free to ask! I’m more than happy to help. If and when you come to a conclusion please follow up and let me know what vehicle you decided to end up with!
Cheers!

@@MartiArtisan I am currently at work (graveyard private security for a marijuana farm in OR) and I can hear my wife repeating her argument towards my pick of vehicles...."you just want it because it looks fast!" (Camaro) I gave the 'backseat' card and won that one! HAHA!
Won the WRX "fight" with the good old fashioned, "it'll do GREAT in the snow and it's a four door sedan technically." So likely cheaper insurance.....I didn't tell her that though
Basicly 😂😂😂😂 gooooooodnesssssss
Do you just need one harness for the drls or 2?
TheClownPrince of Reviews just one!
MartiArtisan great man thanks and bad ass car
TheClownPrince of Reviews not a problem and thank you!
you need an arness or two
Maria Lopez you only need one harness!
Still confused about the harness...What does it do?
Christopher Hesano if you have drls it allows them to be on full time versus just on when the headlights are on. So you could have the fogs “drls” on, even with the headlights off.
@@MartiArtisan I have an RS and it appears that they do that already. I wish there was a way I can make them switchable as fog lights
What's that bright thing in the sky of Oregon?
I’m not sure 🤔
Look at that, 2017 FAR AIM.
Ah yes. So you install better lights to atract more police. Lol
Personal preference, but I haven't had any problems with the authorities in my local area/state!
Marti Artisan i mean if your speeding and they go after you they will see you further away.
That definitely could be a disadvantage considering how bright these lights are!
Ah yes. Another useless commet.
Oregon
Where in Oregon? I'm in Eugene.
Awesome! I'm near Portland
Yo washington state here, vancouver area
Yo why don’t we link up?
Hard to find free time these days but we definitely should! Just checked out your channel, how are you like the ZL1?
Marti Artisan I love it man. It’s the perfect 4 seater Vette daily.
Are you in a flight suit towards the end at night?
Yes
@@MartiArtisan dope what's your job if you dont mind me asking
dM velocity I’m a helicopter flight instructor 🚁
I mean they are not really mods
Noticed a FarAim in the trunk🤪
Elliot Bing can’t leave home without it!!
Is this a hot wheels edition ?
zBlacklist No. It’s a 2010 in aqua blue with the SLP wheels, same wheels that come on the hot wheels
how is this a mod? its just changing lights
All the mods are lights lol
Awesome ABM Camaro. Did you know there's actually a Facebook group for all aqua blue metallic Camaros? You shoud check it out some time. We are in search for our other aqua blue brothers and sisters! m.facebook.com/groups/BlueFreedomABMowners/
Where you from , I stay in Salem
M V Portland
17.2 mpg on a v8 bruh I’m getting 15.9
Supreme Yarok dude I get 12.7 mpg. I don’t know why
I get 8 👀 I may be modded tho
You have to do the back up lights.... check out my instagram Mr_Modification_
That FAR/AIM tho....
Not to sound like a dick but why does everyone always open up a box on the hood of the car even a little movement of the cardboard box can cause scratches in the paint I guess I'm just more pickier than most people
Throttle controller mod is trash
too bright, more subtle is better
I agree they are very bright. Honestly I was really surprised and impressed when I got them. The quality and light output is top notch, to say the least!
