Here are some threads on the new Camaro Halo Projector housings
There are at least three kinds now, one has an extra bulb in the middle for an unknown purpose, and the the two differ on the type of bulb used for the low beam - H3 versus H1. H3 is intended for fog lights. H1 is intended for high beam, but is often used in eBay projectors. H1 has better output than H3 and H1 projectors typically handle HID better than H3 projectors, but still not as well as some H7 projectors or real HID projectors.
(prices have come down since these threads were started too)

REVIEW: ebay HID projectors - with before and after pics

Here are some similar projectors with an extra bulb in the middle for an unknown purpose. I don't think anyone has bought this style. I haven't found any threads with them installed or output pics.

Projector Headlights (not the same crap!) Look These are NEW!

Those above projectors often used an H3 bulb which is a fog light bulb. Here is a newer version of the "DualHalo" projector that uses an H1 bulb and has better output:
