I would paint them rather than get the halo's. I just don't really care for the halo's all that much. The painted lights look soooo much better IMO.

I agree, unless u really like the halo's, which i do but i didn't want to spend the money on them, I'd just paint them..... i'd like to see them painted red, that'd be interesting!
