Default Got rid of the Halos and did this....

The Halos were a piece of garbage so I returned them and did this. Got some HIDs for the fogs still waiting on the HIDs for my headlights and got these color changing LED bulbs. They are white when they are running lamps then turn yellow for turn signals.

Default Yeah me too!!

This is what I did as well!! I put the projectors back in(for now) but when I put my factories in, I just can't keep them normal!! ;-) so I installed the all white turn signals and use the blue covers so it is VERY blue when they signal!! Makes me kind of nervous in front of PD!

I got them from V leds kinda expensive at 50 bucks for the 2 of them but with the 2 hid kits and these bulbs and the load resistors I am at about $150 and like it better than the halos.

ww.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Turn-Signal-LED/White-LED/TYPE-2-DUAL-COLOR-CHANGING-p5846227-1-2.html

They say these are HID 6k white and they match my 4500k fogs pretty good. So they should match my headlight HIDs when I get those.

These turn yellow so I don't think I should get problems from the police.

No I didn't get the bulbs for my tails yet. I'm going to get those from Vleds too but they are out of stock.

Pretty neat. I just went with chrome colored amber turn signal bulbs and I'm very happy with them. I personally don't like the blue-ish color they are when lit and when they're not blinking. Just my opinion.

I just wanted everyone who was thinking about getting these turn signal bulbs not to. I started to have a problem with them flashing the white light inbetween the amber flashes. They sent me a new set and those did the same thing. Vleds said there were other people with GM vehicles having the same problem. They wrote me back today and said they weren't able to recreate it on the test bench so there is no fix for them yet
