Default Good bye halo's, hello whistler

One of my halo headlights burned out, so I took them apart and got rid of the halo inserts. I kind off got sick of the halos because too many people around here were getting them; I like the look of the whistler mod far better than the previous look of the halo's. Here are some pics:
old halos

NEW whislter modded

Yep, did it myself. The only pain in the *** was getting the lenses off the housing.

Nice, I like the look much better than halos, although those headlights don't seem to fit very good......

There was a small hole between the high and low beam section at the bottom, but its hardley noticeable when blacked out. I can send you some far away pics when I get the chance.

Buying halos and taking out the insert is actually much cheaper than trying to buy two new aftermarket OEM replacement headlights. Its just a pain to get them apart to take out the halo piece.

hard to tell between night and day pictures but whistler mod seems like a better choice, especially with your hood.
