[AnderbrA]

there actually would be no way to see it im sure cuz the HIDs are so bright.....im in for the night though...its cold outside...

[-Alero-]

f*** a sound system! im buying those first chance i get! how much will it run me for projectors and those bad daddies?

[AnderbrA]

thats the support i like to see...thanks -alero-....anywho....i was doin the projectors for 150+the cost of projectors...which normally run bout 100 bucks or so.....

halos....ah...20 bucks ;)

[-Alero-]

omg! so sexy! so do you place the LED in the halo tube? like can i have a choice of LED colors? like instead of a whitish liek that i was thinking somethign a lil bluer, like my turn signals, and do these just always stay on? or do they turno one whenever night comes around? (night mode)

[AnderbrA]

i just have a white LED at the bottom....you could put a different one in there, but right now its only 1 color....whatever color you want....it just stays that way....

it would ahve wires so you could hook it to the running lights or to a switch...

[-Alero-]

yeah i'd really like it if they run with the DRL's but uh yeah can you notice the halo's on when ever your night time lamps are on?

[AnderbrA]

i dont think they are bright enough to see with the headlights on....i could be wrong, but ill have to see when i try it with the headlights on....

i was thinking of doing them for the blinker spot too...just smaller ring...but thats a project for another day....eh.

[-Alero-]

what about halos in the brights (the 9005's)

[|Rev|]

thought of it too...hehe.. dunno how it would look with no projector there though...

[-Alero-]

well put projectors in the high beams

[AGT]

I would say put one in the inside where the bright goes and one around the DTRL/ Regular headlights so you could have the headlight on and have a ring glowing in the center...like real angel eye halos :thumbsup: And when you are ready I want some...the way I mentioned prefered. thanks Ander...you have skill.

['04 aler-ho]

just wondering where you got the halo kit from...?

[AnderbrA]

^^^from my garage.....lol i made them from scratch.

[Crolero]

lets see if i understand. thats a fiber cable that you pooked slits into to reflect the light from a LED?

[doubleN0alero]

i was a little skeptical, but those really look nice bryce, good work!

And if you don't know what that is, it's the rod that you twist to rotate the blades of a venetian window blind. Bought my rod and LEDs after coming across THIS (http://www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes.htm) a couple years ago. Just never followed through on it. :unsure: This is the second project me and Ander have had the same idea of, and yet again he's beat me finishing it. :lol:

[Eh_nigma]

Oh you are a GENIOUS! Must say that they look absolutely sweet. Please count me in when these become available.

[Eh_nigma]

And to think, all this time my mind was wrapped around the game... "why are people playing Halo at a time like this..." :blink:

actually its perfectly round.....1/8th inch in diameter.

[Eh_nigma]

Oh these are gonna be sweet...

[midnightalero01]

yeah the halo in the high beam would be good and sexy! ;)

[Eh_nigma]

I really would like to see what all three lights (inc. the turn signal) would look like... I'm sure it would look great.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

do the rings have to be perfectly round for them to work? I was curious...perhaps a "halo" around the edge of the high beam socket.

[FormulaNERD]

hey, these look sweet, but did you yhink about using 3m reflective tape behind like in this link? makes them look sweet, even during the daytime....

It really depends on what look you're going for. Some would think it looks odd how in the link the Halo's aren't 'glowing' all around *raises hand*.

[Sportalero]

Not to thrash on your original design whatsoever, Ander, but i do like the info Formula got on them 3M tape. Why someone would think it would look "odd" is beyond me. I mean Beemers have the halo effect during the daytime also, right?

And i think the info Form got that link from is the very same guy who's link i used in my earlier post..lol.

[Sportalero]

And nigma, do you mean a projector, a halo, or both of them in the turn signal area? Because i think that would sorta be overkill, ya know

[Eh_nigma]

I meant having the main turn light, the orinignal place, and then over the high-beams - 3 side-by-side. I think if the one around the turn light is a slightly smaller diameter than the other two, it would give a good effect.
