I find proper(as in BMW quality) halo lights look good only small round headlights. Cars with 7" rounds look like they have something shoved up their ass with halos. And I have never seen one of nice quality in such size. They all look like a cheap piece of crap they are.

And stock nazis in 3...2...1...

Pretty cool. I'm guessing its kinda like the bme headlights with the lit up outer ring?

Yeah the outer ring connects to your parking lights and light up blue....I may give em a try...

Post pics! Is the actual ring blue? Or is it determined by the light? I think they look a lot better in white. Less fartcan Honda like.

According to the ad...
"Halo's can easily be wired to your parking lights, turn signals, or to a separate switch
In the images you can see the basic install of the headlights, the headlight portion will just plug and play, the optional halos will need to be wired up"

Sounds like the ring has its own lighting...
They have a 800 number but I guess their closed now...
Gonna call em tomorrow and make sure...
I like the idea of the blue ring on with the parking lights...

Batan and I like fluted crosshair 7" rounds.

I've thought about doing this myself. But with a seperate switch, as I only want to use them for parking.

If I do it, I'll make my own. Peace!

considered doing this a while back on my notch came across a better quality set up on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...MEWAX%3AIT self contained and better looking. the blue ring lookeed too cheesy. i bought a set of these as well as the empi h4 headlights to mount them in its back burnered at this point but think this winter I may tackle it.

Haha the Watercooled VW community was doing this a lot when the Halos on BMWs first came out years ago. Never thought it would make it over to ACVWs :lol:

Dude i am going to buy a set for my bus, those are sweet.

I come from the BMW scene and I don't even like Halo's on versions of BMWs that didn't come with them. Try doing something like putting Ellipsoids (Projectors) from a BMW (either e30 or e34) and see if you can retrofit those onto the bus. Now that will be something amazing to see
