The better question is do people ask you why you have "BMW lights" on your TL?

C'mon, do you guys really think this looks good?

I dont think they have them for the TL....I havent seen any sites that make them for the TL and a friend of mine has a rim/audio/custom shop and he has yet seen one for the TL. I dont think I would want one for it anyway unless it looks just that damn good.

The orion v2s from umnitza are the brightest around, you have the option of sending them to JnC, AckTL05 or doing them at home. You have to open up the headlight to install them, I wired mine to my ignition so they run kinda like DRLs (which i disabled)

I don't see why you guys are suddenly hating the halos, there's a lot of members who have had them done and they look great in person. Way better option for DRLs then the crappy looking stock setup or LED DRLs.

If you're going to do it, you should really have some quality retrofits done. I wouldn't put cheap Ebay halos in a nice car like a TL.

Its about half the price yes, and the build quality on the umnitza is poor, I had to take them out at re-solder them.

I would probably get the retrofit source ones if I had to do it again.

I had umnitzas until they broke. I have the white xb halos on my 3G now. They are extremely bright and uniform. And honestly in real life come out more blue than my 5k morimoto d2s bulbs. I'd probably put the xb's at 5500ish. They also aren't nearly as thick. I love them.

This. They're getting played out. You're starting to see halos on everything now, even trucks.

I love how everyone says it's "so rice". Yet pretty much every new car worth a damn these days comes with LED halos/drls. Japanese, Korean, German, Italian, American...they all have it.

If you read my last comment....I said I was on here looking from my work computer, and by doing that the security settings block most if not all pictures. I finally logged in my from phone to look and realized that there are pics.
RIF....I guess you are too lazy to read if you didnt see me mention that a few hours ago.

ive seen both of them in action and i dont think they are the same brightness.. overall the xb wins in my book. The v2 just dont have the uniform light that the xb has at all angles. Only way you can get full brightness from the v2 is when you look directly at it which sucks.

Yep, real ricey.

From the side (demonstrating what milkz just claimed)


Visibility at a distance with full sun


Demons


Angels - A poor low light photo but look at the light the halos are casting on the ground... bright!

Is that the best you could do? Irony at it's best.

Really, this is such a waste of time and money. It adds nothing to the car. In fact it's the kind of mod that only a 14 year-old would think is "cool."
This is akin to wearing a bow-tie. Guys who wear one may think its cool, but in reality people are snickering at them behind their backs.

Really, that's your opinion and when you put it the way you do, most people probably won't want to hear it.

Even if you looked at it as pure DRLs it adds something to the car. Safety.

I mean yea, this looks like shit...


In my experience they are extreme head turners. People rave over them at meets. Because they look fantastic. I'm sure that's Aaron's experience as well.

Though I'm not a huge fan of AE's, I think the only way it can be pulled off on a 3G/4G is if there are two in each headlight (like the pic maharajamd posted). Even then I'm not fully impressed because they are so small...it doesn't look right.

I had them on my Tiburon and loved them but that was years ago and my setup resembled what I mentioned above...two in each headlight and they were bigger. They were also LED so very bright.

To each their own though. I wouldn't buy them but I'm not gonna hate on those who do. I've seen much worse.

^Wow, no opinion from you on the subjuct until there is doubt about the "cool" factor.

I'd LOVE to see you put these on your car. My guess is you just chimed in to offer the usual "To each their own" we ought to accept everyone BS that you typically offer for every idiot that comes along...

I Wonder why Boyah hasn't chimed in as well.

C'mon, really?

If you have added this to your ride, ask yourself what your car has really gained. Honestly.

Why be active on an enthusiasts website if you leave your car stock? Because honestly, what does your car really gain with three quarters of the shit we do to them?

To each their own fits perfectly here.

Angel Eyes are for BMWs. If you want a BMW, go get one.

While we're on the subject of ricing and doing fake things to cars, I'm sure plenty of you angel eye fans would love you know about this fake thing that you can do for your bodies. Make sure you add it to your Christmas list this year.
