I'd like to get this look if possible. More of a dark chrome than a painted finish housing & brushed metal shrouds. Can it be done & how much?

iceman21_23 · 06-14-2011, 12:24 PM

That finish is called Black Chrome, its pretty difficult to work with but we're working on it.

Orb Rings, not halos

Yes, you can order just the Orbs, we only offer them in Pure White (5500K), we tend to stay away from colored LEDs because they don't handle the conditions within the headlights for a long period of time, so we highly recommend against using blue, red, or RGB lighting inside the headlights.

Here's a few more pics

Not sure if it helps but you may be able to use this for black chrome. I've used it before and it works great!

Dupli-Color :: Shadow

Not smaller, just different. We no longer use Superflux LEDs, they were just not reliable. We've been using a special kind of SMD LED with a lens, and they are very reliable and just as bright.

I think I've seen that before, not sure if I tried it. I'll look into it again

That is perfect. In Canada, we need day time running lights. How would you hook em up?

Do you ship to Canada? How much for the exact set up?

leighspped · 06-15-2011, 09:06 AM

how are the orbs wired up? is there a switch in the cabin or on and off with the headlights?

All our LEDs are usually wired up to the parking lights. They can be turned on at any time and also stay lit with your HIDs. A separate switch can be wired up but we don't do the installation for those.

Thanks,
Alex

Few random updates from the work we did in the past couple of months.

Do you have pics of the black painted ones with the red landing strip on a car? wondering what they look like overall

XwChriswX · 07-20-2012, 12:22 AM

For anyone with the LED rings installed, ever been hated on by BMW drivers as being HALO rip offs?

I love the look of these 180* Can't wait to put my order in for a set.

Well what light is your DRL now? I'll just hook them up to that. Usually we hook them up to the parking lights or a switch.

I believe that setup has flat black housings and Dual Orb rings, which comes out to $600 installed.

Unfortunately we do not, as those headlights were shipped in and I never seen the car in person.

Ugh I hear that so much, and to me it doesnt even make sense. BMW didn't event a halo of light. Yes they have been putting halos in their headlights for a long time, but those are right next to each other, completely different shaped headlights. And these are LED rings, something BMW still doesn't do! We have put these LED rings in a ton of old and new bimmers!

Hey, if you guys ever come to the west coast (cough cough, Bay Area

), for an event and can do some headlight work, please let me know.
I would love to meet up with you guys for a day and get my headlights done.
