Check AmericanMuscle.com they have almost everything. I have the CCFL Halo projectors and love them. I also have the matching CCFL Halo fogs, they look sick. The red ones you will have to fine elsewhere, they dont have them on AM, as far as I have seen.

I love the red halos and how they look! Here's a link on where to get em but they are a bit difficult to install from the research I've done.

I just ordered some today that I think are the ones you're talking about. AM has them smoked, so that'd probably be your best bet. As far as the red halos go...I'll probably make mine red too at some point. But from what I gather it's illegal, so it'll have to wait a little while. I think Oracle makes some kits, but I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to just do it yourself depending on if it's CCFL or LED.

Of course. However I didn't want mine smoked, so mine will be a little different.

Sorry it took so long. I finally got them installed and aimed (what a pain in the ***). My headlights and turn signal housings were all part of a package deal on EBay, compliments of "ipexmotoring".

My halo's are LED so I didn't expect them to be that bright, but ****...they really aren't bright at all. I was expecting a ring of LED's in that tube...no, it's just 1 LED pointing in each direction at the top of the tube (for a total of 2 LED's in the halo). Not really a huge deal for me though, since I plan to replace them eventually anyway...Between the verticle LED's and also installing switchbacks and LED parking lights, I've got plenty of accent lighting output (also makes for good DRL's, and lights up road signs *really* well). So if you really want to be able to see the halo's, make sure you get CCFL.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Do you guys know if the Orical lights come with the orange vertical LED's? I can't tell from the website. I see it in the pic (duh) but in the write-up it doesn't mention it.

I'm pretty sure it's not included. I'm sure they have some LED's that you could put there, but I think it'd be a DIY job...

Called oracle for a pair of custom headlights with dual red halos in each headlight as well as my lower valance fog lights. It's 250 for the halos 250 for install and about 245 for the headlights themselves. I can't wait to get them installed on my car now !!
