Your highbeams are the inner. When you turn your highbeams on, the inner lights turn on WITH your lows.

I'm not sure if i am missing something but when i pull the switch for my lights once no lights come on and when I pull it twice only the lows are on. Is the high beam switch somewhere else? If so where? Really wish i had an owners manual lol

Re: Which are high beams with are low?

I'm not much on Camaros...more of a Firebird guy, but if you have a pull **** for headlights, usually, part way out is parking lights, all the way out is low beam headlights. To activate high beams, you pull back the turn signal lever toward you and it will click. I'm just guessing here as it's been a long time since I've had a Camaro, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was.

One more question I have is how do you turn on the power antenna is it supposed to come on with the radio? Or is it a switch?

If it’s the stock radio, yes.

To test the antenna motor gain access to the antenna motor connector at the back of the radio.

It’s the connector with three terminals.

With that connector unplugged, ground the
gray wire, and apply power to the green wire.

If the antenna is good it will raise.

Next, this time ground the
green wire, and apply power to the
White wire.

If the antenna is good it will retract.


Happy Racing!
