They look good to me but to me, the corner lights are throwing them off for some reason. I know you can't help them being on unless you disabled them all together but maybe more clear pictures at different angles would help a little bit. Just my $0.02 though.

I'm going to play around with them some more, probably reposition the halos and see how that looks. Kinda wish I didn't completely paint the high beam section though. And those corners are going to get semi-blacked out, like tinted. I hate when they're completely black.

Not bad for a set of custom made halos. I think it will look better if the whole halo was in in the center, not looking like a u design.

That may help some when you get your corners tinted to reduce the light out put a little. Then again it's like anything like that where theres a focus on the lights seems brighter than actually seeing it in person. But that's what I would do is play around with em. Worse comes to worse and it doesn't work out, you at least know what to and what not to do.

How is it drawing current? Where did you hook them up for the power source?

Im thinking the idea of them sounded better when they were off the car. The don't really flow with anything as they are now and it looks kind of awkward.

I bought extra connectors and hooked them right up to the high beam harnesses.


To those saying the markers are too bright, it's just the pictures, the camera focuses on the light especially at night...they will get lightly smoked though.

Ahh yes, now I see, well played Good luck w/ your new drop top

Well I actually just realized that I still had my old set of headlights that I screwed up on. They were painted normal whistler, so I did a halo comparison between the ones I'm using now and the normal whistlered one and wow- if you thought the halo looked out of place on the ones I'm using now...this just looks awful, the halo looks like it's just been thrown in there.

Used one of the old housings for a test subject. I repositioned the halo, I think it looks much better than before. Let me know what you guys think now. The lense isn't on the housing in the picture, it's too much of a hassle getting the whole headlight mounted! Since the old left headlight was not salvageable, I only have 1 mounted. I want to finalize before cutting into the set I have now.








Here is a video:

Oh and btw, I am going to make it so I can have the fog lights on with the brights (aka halos). They are HID 6000k.

I've seen that before. I hate those halos, they face up which imo looks stupid. Look at pictures of them at night, they look awkward. Otherwise I would have done that.
