Default Brighter Halo Ring

I wish there was a way to make the halo rings brighter. In reality there is only about an hour in the day that you can really get the halo effect. In the daytime its too bright outside, and you can only drive around so long w/o you headlights when it starts to get dark.

Well, disabling your auto headlight if you have Halo's is a must. Otherwise you can't show them off!!

Take out your HU and reach under the dash next to the red light, there is the light sensor. Turn it then pull down it should come out and put a wire tap onto both those wires which shorts them out. Bingo no more automatic headlights.

That would be cool if someone could get that fan light to work in the headlight. All of that computer stuff runs on DC voltage too.
