Angry catfish tbh the camaro only looks like a catfish when you don't have a grill and it looks ugly without it.

Would anyone be interested if I started to produce these (after I get the first set done)? I could start out with the brand new depo headlights but I'm not willing to shave the nubs off the lenses since they are UV protected. I'll have to make the halos from scratch. There will be an adapter harness connector so there will be no cutting of your stock harness. They will come with the stock light bulbs. When the halos are off, they will NOT be red like in the pictures, they will be clear. They will still light up red. I will not be retrofitting a projector. If I do that I think it will get too costly for you guys. I don't know what it costs to retrofit one if anyone wants to fill me in there. I was considering adding an HID kit with it as well but I figured you can do that yourself.

I don't have a price just yet, let me do the first set then I will see if it's worth producing these based on cost, time, and interest. Give me a few weeks.

Yes probably.

Yep the whole high beam area is gloss black. Depending on how bright these halos turn out I may just leave it a normal whistler. It does look a little odd with it being black but I did it to cut down on reflection when the halo is on plus it looks great at night. So if you're not fond of it being all black just wait until I get these halos made and I'll do a comparison between normal whistler and whistler with all black high beam section.
I don't really have any more good pictures of them with the halos in. The pictures are of the crappy halos I bought and they are broken now (no idea how either...) so I can't get any more pictures of them with halos until I hand make a new set. The new set is going to be clear rather than red and will still light up red. Here's a couple without the halos in, though.

Do I have to be a sponsor to sell a "product"? Heck, then I'll put them in the classifieds as I make them and call them custom.

$200... + brighter is not always better..

After the cost of those + depo lights that'd be $400 with no work done to make them fit and work properly.



Thanks ReF

Haha that looks great especially on your car although I'm still not digging the blacked out high beam section all that much. The new halos are going to be clear when they're off, not red like my pictures. So I'm thinking of doing a regular whistler to the lights and see how that turns out. Halos would almost be invisible that way, and if the chrome section doesn't reflect too much of the halo's light, I'll definitely leave them regular whistler'ed.
