Default Sick of seeing friggin'Halos....

Because now I want some !

I never thought much of them, always prefered the Whistler mod headlights (especially since Whislter, aka Chris, is a good friend of mine).



But I keep seeing Halos on GREAT looking cars and am reconsidering.

Here's few of you guys that are tempting me:

























These are what I am considering:



For this car:



IMO, I like BOTH styles of headlights DURING THE DAY (Whistlers even have a slight edge over the Halos in my book), but at night the HALOS just look plain EVIL

DEMONBIRD:

Im flattered that my car has influence you….I think you’ll like the halo’s…in fact I know you will DO IT!!



I would have chose the blue halo’s but I didn’t know they were out when I bought mine…I am thinking about ordering them though, my interior lights are done with the blue led’s so it would match well.



Good luck and thanks!!

I don't really like halo's. The hood has two humps coming from the headlights, and the stock headlamps are two bulbed, but the halo's have three lamps, just doesn't flow well..

It looks like one hump covers over 2 lamps and the second hump covers over the 3rd, in which case it would flow just fine. But I'd have to see in person, it is hard to tell on here.

The hood follows the contour of the lens casing, not the bulbs. The halo's are the exact same casing and follows the exact same line.
