RGB LED Controller installed. The included app for Android works well for selecting the color, but selecting the mode didn't work so well. The included remote works well though. It has several modes where you can select the color and brightness, have it blink in and out, or cycle the colors and select the speed at which it cycles.

Another thing to note... 4 leds for the smaller halo and set to white apparently gets a bit warm and did bubble the krylon fusion a bit. So that's something to watch out for. I imagine a traditional automotive clear (not from a rattle can) should hold up to heat a little better.

Yep, paint will bubble on a lens conversion, RGB type halo's do get hot. Also swapping out dual fulfillment amber turn signal bulbs with LED will help keep heat down.

I used automotive clear coat on my shrouds and still bubbled. Swapped out halo's for white XB's seem to solve my issue but no color choices with XB's.

Lights look great...
