My own custom halos- DONE! *For sale 8/1* Just skip to page 3, 8, and 12 if you don't want to read about the development. Page 3 explains that I may produce these. Page 8 has pictures of each color halo and page 12 has finished pictures on the car.
Well after so much pondering and frustration these are finally done. When I had originally planned on what to do, I thought it'd be a piece of cake. Instead, just about everything about them went wrong. The halos were not red (and still not red enough imo), and mounting the halos for the first time resulted in having to buy another set of headlights and halos.
These are going to be wired to the high beams and the high beam bulbs non-functional, and the factory wire harness will not be cut or spliced. For now the halos are not stuck in place and the lenses are not connected to the housings. I don't have a car right now otherwise they would be together and mounted. The plan is a black ss or z28 convertible. I think these will look mean on it
and I'm happy of how they turned out. Once I get the car I will update the thread with more pictures. All feedback is welcome, I'd like to know what you like and don't like.
EDIT: these halos (that I bought) are now broken. I will be making my own set of halos by myself, and may consider producing the headlights.

Haha yeah I wanted to make sure they'd look aggressive. I don't really like the aftermarket halo headlights either, they don't flow with the car too well imo. Although at night they look good (except the catfish ones that face up 
)

Just planning ahead 
Thanks! That's why I will have them hooked up to the high beams 
never use them anyway. They'll mainly be used during shows since there are quite a few during the year here in MI, and in rural areas. I'm curious as to if it's still illegal if I have the fogs on with them?

Thanks guys, I was considering a write up but I kind of like the idea of being different from the rest 
I have $150 into them but if I hadn't messed up the first time I'd have only put $100 into them...definitely beats the aftermarket ones. Yes I was aware it's illegal but they won't be on all the time.
