TEASER WITH NO PICTURES: ()

Ok so I just got one halo made, it's pretty rough but I'm going to experiment with a couple things. It's not super bright like the last ones and it is much more red, the color looks just right. It's a little more subtle but will not go unnoticed. I'm thinking that a regular whistler headlight will look much better than black high beam sections.

Thanks for all the positive comments, I don't think there's been one person that doesn't like them.

So far so good, the halo I made is not dying like the last ones, I left it on for around 12 hours non stop. In a week or 2 I will make a white halo as well cause I know not all of you want red since it is illegal. I'll try to work on them this weekend to get some pictures but no promises since I have a lot of other things to do.

Good news, I might be getting a black ss (vert 6 speed to be more specific ) very soon and will get pictures of them on the car when I finalize the halos.

Ok so I've got a couple halos made, they are still a little rough but here's a bit of a feeler to give you an idea of what to expect. Let me know what you think.

The halos are slightly different from each other. One is a solid red while the other is solid red but also has cuts like a regular halo does. It's hard to tell the difference from the pictures but the passenger side is the solid red and the driver side has cuts. The pictures didn't exactly capture the color real well, they are a little darker red. When the halos are on, they can't be seen in the sunlight, and they are dim but somewhat noticeable in the shade.












Sunlight picture (the halos are on but completely unnoticeable):


Shade picture (don't look all that great):

How do you like their brightness? Not enough or just right? I'm person they seem a bit brighter and the color is spot on red.

Imo I need to see them on the car. I attempted to remove the black paint from the back of the high beam section with paint thinner (to make the light a normal whistler), but forgot I had roughed that area up, stupid me, wasn't thinking oh well, I will have to repaint that area. If someone wants to send me a single normal whistlered headlight they don't need let me know lol so we can get a comparison between that and mine.

Yup figured so :/ the white ones should be brighter though. I'll have to play around with them some more and see what I can figure out.

Here are pictures of white halos. They look blue in the pictures but are white. They're about the same brightness as the red ones :/ I thought they'd be brighter.

Well, here they are, some pictures with them on the car......I HATE THEM! They did not turn out how I wanted them to, and they are drawing current even without the high beams on. With just the parking brakes or low beams they are lit up dim. I AM SO UPSET

Maybe it's just me, but I think they look worse in person.
