Halo Projector Headlights

[jgray1978]

I've perused these postings for a bit. I have read a couple of threads in regards to HIDs in the stock assemblies but was wondering if anyone had replaced their assemblies. Any suggestions or build threads for HID Halo Projector lights?

Check out the What You Need thread stickied above.

Also I and several others have used Euro version halogen equipped projector headlights that have the halos and replaced the halogens with hids. One needs to use a relay to make it work and a capacitor. I went with The Retrofit Dource relay as recommended by Beastlick.

Anyone familiar with these?

I think ShawnB and fallenAngel are running them but said the inverters crapped out within a month. You'd want to invent in better ones quickly. If you go the retrofit way, you can have halos added to just about any shroud.

Does anyone recommend a "Euro version" headlight assembly that has projectors and halos? I'm not opposed to modding headlights but just don't feel comfortable retrofitting projectors in them as far as alignment goes. I've baked my RS lights (yes, I know that the sonic lights have to be cut) on my Camaro as well as other's Camaros for halo manipulation.

I have those headlights above, so far after 3 months the inverters are still fine. I've thought about putting HID'S in these, but ended up just getting 6000k piaa lights.

I actually only had one issue with my set and that only happened one time with the halo not lighting. they all have worked great since that one hiccup. and even if the inverter gives out, simply cut it out, and splice in a new one.

i myself dont mind once a great while paying for a new inverter if need be vs paying out the rear for a retrofit set. but thats me and my opinion on that. not saying no one else shouldnt go the other way. some cool options can be had doing it the other way for sure. But this is the route i chose with my setup.

Again, so far, ive had only one hiccup and since no issues with the set with the halos already installed.
