Default How to get red halos?

I have a set of halo headlights and want to make the blue halo red. How or who has done this? Also have been looking at red hid headlights and fog lights. Do yall think thats to ricey if I did that? What are the laws about red headlights and how much of a ticket is it?

I did this with mine and and changed them to orange to match my parking lights....its kind of a pain in the ***, but worth it! Just take your time when prying the lens off the housing, if you try to go too fast, it WILL break.

Yea it all depends on where you are. Here in california you can only have amber or clear auxillary lighting. Anything else they will give you a ticket for unlawful lighting lol i have the ticket to prove it. BS!!! BUT, if you keep them on a swith you can simply either turn them off, or switch to stock when you see a cop
