Default Got my Halos in today!!!

Got them from quiet_storm98 for an INCREDIBLE deal!!!

Haven't had a chance to install them yet because I am an idiot and mailed off my old headlights and left the brackets on ...

Anyways, it will be remedied soon...

Here's an out of the box pic in the meantime:



I plan to hook the Halos up to my Nitrous Arming switch... in other words the Halos will come on when the Nitrous is armed

You can't really see the halo anyways.

Mine have been sitting in a box for over a month now. I'm only using them to hold me over until I get this projector retrofit done, then i'll sell them to whomever wants them.

That's a sweet idea with the halos and the nitrous switch. Kinda like the car suddenly becomes posessed.

That's EXACTLY my thoughts, just thought I would get laughed at for saying it. Kind of like the little "My Fast" guy from the Jetta commercials !

I like when things LOOK cool, I love them when they have a FUNCTION...

I got one of the first sets around two and a half years ago, so they may have different LEDs in them now. I sold that set though.

I just bought a new set of halos about a month ago to hold me over while I do my projector retrofit on my stock lights, so I don't have any downtime. They've been sitting in the box the entire time though, so perhaps these are brighter.
