If everyone went by this philosophy no one would ever attempt to do anything.

Best thing to do is, Read up on how to, watch videos, take your time. You have to start somewhere.

Why? He would still be learning how to do the TL headlight for the first time after doing the civic, they arent going to be the exact same. Things are going to be different. Should he go buy a civic to learn how to change brakes? Equally expensive if he screws up.

I've had a bit of time to digest the concept of halos on a TL, and FWIW, these are my thoughts (though I don't judge others):
I remember when HIDs were only available on high end cars, mostly German. Now, of course, they are an option on a wide variety of cars. Back when they were new, however, every so often, you would see someone in a Pontiac Sunfire or a Ford F-150 sporting ultra-blue headlights. These blue bulbs were even marketed as simulating the HIDs seen on pricier vehicles. Still, I think everyone who saw them (or maybe it was just me) would think, "there goes a guy who wishes he could afford a different car".
I have to think that putting halos on something that doesn't have a BMW badge would result in the same effect. Now, you could say "who cares what others think", but the reality is, if one is considering halos, one very much cares what others think. You don't get halos becasue they work better.
Anyways...just my thoughts. Perhaps I'm way off.
