I was thinking about getting a pair of the halo projector headlights. I was talking to a few guys at work about them. One of them installed them on his civic hatch and said he had poor visibilty. Anyone else have these installed? good, bad ugly?

 

[Its me DUB]

I don't have them, but I've seen them. Haven't seen one I've liked.

alot of those things are poorly manufactured. Taillights and headlights from the aftermarket are known to have problems, especially with water leaking in.
I personally havent seen anything that I spend my money on like that, but its all up to what you like.

If you do get somthing like that it would be a good idea to work on getting a good seal on them so they dont leak or have alot of condesation in them.

I had them. I loved how they looked, and with my xenon kit in there visibility was terrific.

However, it was a nightmare making them fit, and re-sealing them when I noticed one of them leaked. They also grew mold on the inside.
Would not get them again.

Been on Jonnys car for a few years now it seems, and they work just fine, no leaks, no nuttin...

But those aren't halo's....

 

[ComposiMo]

eerrr.... projectors Well, they are close to the Halos... made by the same company i think. Those have the 'halo' ring actually molded into them, but it just doesn't light up or anything.

:lol:

i'm still on the fence about them friends love them. the visibility is deece the fitment aint all that great.

 

[SETI20]

no, fitment looks terrible. My car was black, so were the projectors,, so I could get away with it easier.

Along with them being poorly made, I think that they just look horrible as well. They usually do not fit correctly, have a terrrible light output AND they just make the car look so cheap and tacky.

You can make a halo ring yourself pretty easily. Get an acrylic tube (like even a clear toothbrush will work) and form it into a circle using boiling water. At the top, leave a small gap big enough for an LED. When you light it up, you won't see any light coming out, so make notches all around the loop. It's basically how fibre optics work.
