Halos look cheesy to me, always have. I wish someone would make some nice projector style headlights for these cars. I'd rather do the Whistler type mod anyday.

Projector style headlights would look sick, someone needs to get to making that quickly.

I live in Miamitown close to Edgewater now. Haven't had the car out a whole lot this year (only put 4000 miles on it). Once warm weather rolls around again in March or so I'll be gettin it out again.

Ive had both, and I like Halos better. Its all personal preference, choose what you like, not what everybody else tells you to like.

I agree, just try to see both in person first (if at all possible) before you commit...

You know, oddly enough, the reason I didn't like the Halos wasn't because they "don't do with the lines of the hood" (re: hood lines have two bumps, stock headlights have two bumps, Halos have three) like everyone on here says... I didn't like them because I never realized (untill I got them) that they were just a piece of plastic (made to mount the HALO ring on)in front of a stock housing behind a stock lens...

Whenever you have visualized something different than it actually is for a long time I don't think it's possible to ever get that original idea out of your head... That's why I think I didn't like them ...

I like whistlers better I think they flow better with the lines on the hood.
