You have to custom make those.

If you're just talking about the original halos, they all come from the same manufacture. So technically, you could just order the cheapest ones you find and they will be the same as the most expensive (on ebay). It's just a matter of, customer service, shipping, etc.

I would assume the same goes with the new dual halos but I can't say for absolute certainty.

the thread topic was he was looking for a high quality set of black halos, and wanted to know which brands were recommended. you out of the blue started asking soemone other than the creator of the thread about how difficult it is to change the color of the halos. unless a post was deleted and i dont see a piece of the puzzle, then yea it was a hijack!


now back on topic....like metioned, ebay is the best bet, you can get them around $150 if i recall correctly. they are super easy to install, but the quality is terrible. the rubber is cracking on mine after only 15,000 miles, and one of the halos burned out at 6,000 miles.

i havnt seen them anywhere but ebay..but miles doesnt mean much in the quality of a headlight.. u could go 6,000 in 2 weeks or it can be a few months... how long do u think it took them to start going bad? (im curious, not being a jacka$$).. or where else can u get them if ebay ones arent good?

i bought a set and they broke during the installation... quality is not even remotely similar to stock headlight assembly.

if i ever find plastic torque wrenches at pep boys, i'll know they're made by the same company that makes the halos.

my car is garage kept so i figured the best way to age them is by miles, since the only time it ever gets wet is when its washed, and it never sits in the sun for more than 10 hours a month probably. mine started going to hell about a year after a bought them tho.

Word those are flocking sexy.

I found a pair on ebay a little concerend about the quality and I am being told that I can just send them to led vault to get the hook up with the red led's OH and who ever pm'd those duals with the pink led's that **** is straight gay.

Brain I have heard that you do these is that the case?

How hard can this be to do? Oh and some have led's and some have CCFL. I am taking a wild guess here but I don't suppose you can change them out(CCFL for LED)

I got mine on ebay... Can't complain too much... Had to really play with them to get the elevations right... Oh, well heres a complaint... the weather seal around them has developed very small cracks in a year that my stockers havn't in 9... so theres a quality statement I guess.
