    Neither can I

    Guys need more opinions I can exchange the halos 100mm for smaller ones or should I just leave them as they are?

    I bought the relay harness.
    This is My parts list the total was $293 shipped:

    If you contact Matt @ TRS he can get you a deal, and HIDPlanet members receive free shipping.
    Right now I'm in the process of exchanging my 100mm CCFL for some 80mm. Customer Service is top notch.

    Well that depends of the projectors you want you can get morimotos h1 Mini projectors for $130 with shrouds from TRS, You can check on ebay to see if you get lucky also on the For Sale section of HIDPlanet.com, I've heard you can get the FX-R same projectors I have for $55 a pair directly from the distributor but the minimum order is like 5 pairs If you can get a Group Buy or Something running, Go to HIDPlanet and look at the pic comparison thread. Morimotos Minis are very impressive for the size and the price at $130 a pair with shrouds, and for H4 headlights they screw in on the bulb hole so no drilling no cutting anything fairly easy.

    Damn NO one likes halos, I like Halos I think I will try them and if they don't look like I want then I take them off, I plan on painting some part of the halos so they look more aggressive.

    No lol those are the design of the shroud looks cool cause it reflects light and they lit up, on HIDP theres one guy that installed amber leds look cool, If I had leds already and I install the CCFL then it would be overpowered lol. I will be using some shrink tubing to modify the look of the Angel eyes If I like how it looks I will discard the idea.

    Oh ok lol, I thought that they were. Thats why I thought it was overkill. Im not really a fan of the halos. Theyre so overdone now, maybe if you do something different than a complete circle it would be a better look, i.e. the new Camaros halos. IDK, just something different.

    Camaro Halos are a little difficult right now, but I don't plan on doing the typical full circle neither the no top part of the circle like BMW, you'll see when its done.

    If you take a full circle halo, and paint it black right down the middle leaving the sides unpainted it could work. It would look like this when lit... ( )

    Those are basically Camaro Halos, But I'll use some dark black shrink tubing so it isn't that permanent like paint and reversible. I'll see what style I like better. Maybe later I'll do the DIY Angel Eyes and Install them. Thanks for your opinions IVORY.

    Yeah thats what I was saying, the Camaro's style would look good and be different from the rest (besides the Camaro's).
    No problem, hope it all turns out the way you want it to.
