let the bashing begin.

[dreVanHalen]

So i picked up a pair of the ebay "halo" headlights to see if I liked them or not. I know I will get shit, but I personally like them so whatever. heres a pic



sorry for the quality. Took it on my cellphone.

[Robb12]

bro I wont bash for those, I think they're pretty. How much did you get em for?

[dreVanHalen]

if I remember correctly, i payed 130 shipped.

[biketsai]

Thats not bad at all. Deep inside, I know that I like them a little. lol
CF hood/black roof?

[dreVanHalen]

roof on its way in about a week with wheels (which you can't see anyways). Right now I am on stock 16 sport wheels, going with 18" gloss black b7 rs4 reps, not that ugly onyx black but real black. carbon fiber hood possibly in november ( my bday :) ) She's comin along for only having her about 2 months

Nice, get that thing lowered while your at it if you arent already.

[dreVanHalen]

trust me, it's all on the way haha. I am on sport suspension right now so it doesnt look too bad though. It's just hard to afford since I can't work a whole lot while in school. I might go rs4 bodykit before I get her lowered.

[oneohone]

Looks two tone-ish, goes well with the car. How is the beam pattern on those lights?

[dreVanHalen]

ha funny you should ask. Well I don't really have them adjusted right because I just put them in. But for the most part I am happy with them. Brighter than what I had before so Its whatever.

[oneohone]

Cool cool, hey it works.

[dreVanHalen]

Now I just want to wire the fogs to come on with the parking lights.

[dmott11]

i think they look alright. i would get new suspension before the kit.

[djwimbo]

We should start an official "Show me your Halo's" thread.

I had a set in my first A4. Mine didn't have the black housing though. I don't like the black housing on a non-black car. Other than that I'm not going to bash on you, it's your car.

[willowtreexx]

I do have to say that i like them. Great ideas with what you want to do with your car! but lower it first before the kit

can you post the link to where you got the headlights? like what seller on ebay?

oh and did you plasti dip your grille or what did you do to it? looks awesome

Now I just want to wire the fogs to come on with the parking lights.

I'd like to do that to mine too. I know there's a how-to to be able to have them on all the time but that's not what I'm looking for.

those would be the ones.

As far as the grill goes, Sanded down the chrome to roughen up the surface, then painted it with...

Krylon fusion satin black. one layer of satin clear coat.

[dreVanHalen]

I'd like to do that to mine too. I know there's a how-to to be able to have them on all the time but that's not what I'm looking for.

all you would have to do is tap the power wire to the fogs in line with the parking lights. Very simple but may need an extension wire. If you know how to solder would be very easy.

[willowtreexx]

thanks for the link! one question is that the halo part, is that the only light output that they have?

[dreVanHalen]

no not at all. they still have normal headlights. I will admit, if you don't know a whole lot about electronics, then it could take some time to do them, If you decide to get them, let me know if you have any questions.

[willowtreexx]

I can do electronics and wiring pretty well. Im not scared to solder or tap into wires. I was just curious how like you get the halo to light up and then the lights? is it like the one click on the light stalk and then the full two notches turns on the headlights? haha sorry for sounding so dumb :/

[dreVanHalen]

its all good. but basically yah. Instead of running the parking light wire to the corner bulbs, you run it to the halo wires. so one click up is halo, another click up and its normal lights with halo around. Allignment and getting the beam where you want it is the tough part.

[badjoke]

Everyone bashes on halos because they're too BMW but I think they're really slick-looking. I've always thought they were cool.

[willowtreexx]

so i am not running the fog lights as of now, but do i have to do any splicing of wires just for the headlights or are the "snap connectors" the same and its litterly plug and play?

thanks for answering all my questions.

[dreVanHalen]

un fortunately the are not plug and play. the plug for the headlights is the same, but the plugs for the blinkers are different. Basically i cut them of, spliced the two ground wires fron the blinkers and halos, crimped on snap connectors, plugged the right wires together and insulated them so they wouldnt touch and blow a fuse. o and for the wires for the halos, the power and ground come out in the bottom as 3 wires. I braided the power wires together then splices them into one wires, just makes it a little easier to work with instead of 3 wires going every which way. did the same for the ground from the halo part

[willowtreexx]

makes perfect sense. yeah i would have totally done the same with the 3 - 1 wire. why have a birds nest? thanks for all your help

[audi til I die]

The only reason I don't like Halo's or any aftermarket light is because the look a bit cheesy or ricey. That's my 2¢. Everyone has a different perspective and goal for their own cars looks
