Halos

Anyone who has had the halo headlights installed, what is your view on the them?

What brand?

Durability?

Worth the money?

If you have pics please post

I will try that but I thought it would just easier to get everyones info in one place instead of asking each person individually

its always good to look unique.. A lot of other car manufacturers are taking the audi led strips so i don't see whats wrong with putting halos on a tl.

that's why they have mixed reviews. BUT...someone just figured out the problem/solution and posted vids in the problems/fixes section. check it out when you get a chance. when they work, i think they look fantastic.

that is my next project...getting mine fixed so they stay reliable.

bad pics, but you get the idea.

Halos=BMW
LED Strips=Audi

All the other halos/strips look like crap. The halos on the Range Rover look terrible and the strips on the Chrysler look beyond disgusting. You have a Acura please don't do this.

Lets not start this again...

Why do any of these cars today have any headlights?
We're all copying Cadillac. TAKE THOSE HEADLIGHTS OFF.

Maybe we shouldn't of copied NA BMW with Xenon headlights also?

Maybe the Mercedes C Class shouldn't copy the TL A SPEC body design?

I also had a set of halos and they worked for bit and went out. The ring itself cracked, so I just plugged them and left it. For the short time I had them they did look pretty sweet.

So far I should not recommend any but if I do it again I would try the halos on superbrightleds.com . They look more durable in connection than the Orion V2. Anyway IMO, Angel Eyes look cool and unique.

And also, if these Halos last me at least a year than I don't mine chopping my headlights up and putting new ones in (through warranty). Cause everyday I get compliments from random people, which at times, are worth the time.
