Need help wit headlights
I am new to the 5th gen Camaro's. I am trying to figure out what is stock and what is not on my recently bought 2015 Camaro 1LT v6.
If I look up the vin, it says it is an 1LT v6. RS isn't mentioned anywhere, but I think it means it is a V6. The front bumper is from a ZL1, it does not completely match the hood because the recesses for the scoop don't line up. I can not tell for sure which headlights are on my car. I think these are ZL1 headlights, and they are different to the standard 2015 lights. But are the ZL1 headlights the same fitment as the standard 10-13 lights? I find this strange because even if you change the bumper, I don't think the mounting points for the lights change. The reason I want to know which Headlights I have is because I want to swap them for same aftermarket projector ones so I can put some leds in there for better lighting. But there is a difference between the 10-13 style lights and the 14-15 style lights. I am not sure but I think I will have to look for the 10-13 style lights. But I wonder how these are mounted. |

RS is a package for V6.
If the hood line isn't right, then the bumper cover was not put on right. The hood resting spot doesn't change. The ZL1 hood looks the same if you check pictures. Those headlights are regular 10-13 versions, V6 and SS. 2014-2015 are different. The 10-13 ZL1s have the two 45 degree halo lights in them. ZL1: The hood doesn't look like it's lined up towards the center here, either. |

I meant the little resesses on the sides of the scoop.
The hood scoop is smaller than the where they are on the bumper. Mine is a 2015, so they must have changed the lights together with the bumper. But how about the mounting holes for the lights? |

because of the modifications you will have to swap your non-RS headlights for 2010-2013 headlights, you can't use 14-15 as you suspected. your car says RS but isn't, they added that to cover the ZL1 logo on the front grille. they should mount up just fine seeing as the 2010-2013 lights you currently have alright line up. as far as the cowl lines not matching you can have the bumper cowl lines moved but will need to repaint after wards, or replace the hood with the ZL1 hood cowl so it matches

Ok, that makes sense.
I thought I did have the rs because of the emblem on the back, that looks like it belongs there. I also have the RS logo in the interior. Of Course everything could have been added afterwards. What defines a real RS. From the vin I found out it had right front damage once. I think that is when they added the RS front, maybe that was also the moment they imported it to Europe because it saves a lot of taxes for a damaged car. From underneath it does not show any signs of previous damage. |

The VIN would have told you it was an RS.
Also, having a 2015, those are not 14-15 headlights, they are 10-13. 2014-2015: 10-13: That is what you have, in a 2015. |

I'm having the same issue. Prior to me buying there was a ZL1 swap on front bumper but my car is actually a 2014 2SS. I'm on the hunt for some headlights with halos. I'm so confused.
Questions is....Do I need to look for aftermarket headlights with halos for a ZL1 since I have the ZL1 front bumper? Or will SS headlights with halos work too? Need help please! |
