Default HID fogs for TA... with halos

One of the housings has a crack in it and wont turn on, so I might as well upgrade. I saw the slimline kit on ebay, thinking of going with a 8000k or maybe 6000k, but my question is do I need a new housing? And I also wanted to run some white or maybe light blue halos around the fogs, having them come on with the drls (without looking too much like a ricer lol). Can someone point me in the right direction? Its for a 99 TA btw.... thanks

how the hell is this rice?!



Rice is a 50ft aluminum wing hangin off your *** end. Rice having 10 different gauges in your car and 8 of them dont work. Rice is having a exhaust tip the size of a Folgers coffe can and actually sounding like it.

Accenting your ride with a simple foglight Halo doesnt fall in the "Rice" catagory. No different than Camaro owners with their Halo head lights.

Im not really a fan of colored halos, but I think it would look pretty sick on my NBM TA. Im still trying to figure out which route to go, should I just use stock housings with HIDs and then add halos separately and wire them into the DRL relay? I want to have them come on with the DRLs and fogs or even as a turn signal. I dont like those aftermarket ones that much, they look too rice and pretty cheap. Someone please point me in the right direction

Here are some pics of mine. The halo comes on when the parking lights are on. Then i still use the factory fog light switch to turn the actual fog light on or off. I like it that way. All of my other friends (Ls1 trans am owners) want them now.

damn those halo's are sick. I probably will just stick with 6K HID fogs to go with my 6K lows, but it looks good nonetheless.
