So night time pics are near impossible with these halos. Because of how bright and I mean very bright that these halos are all the light just blends together in a photo. I only had the halos on but it just creates so much light that they are unable to be distinguished in a pic. In slight darkness such as a parking garage or during the day you can see them but in total darkness it will not work

As far as exterior mods go, at least for my car, I think customizing the headlights will make the biggest difference as far as the looks of the car. I don't plan on changing my wheels any time soon so really this for me is the biggest change that will be seen. I did a couple other minor things to the exterior like tinting the car, plasti dipping the emblems black and I added Nismo Carbon B pillar garnishes but thats it. Everyone that has seen the car in person before and after the headlight change couldn't believe the difference so as I said I would highly recommend doing this. You'll be glad you did

Keep a lookout at the paint right under your new turn signal lens. After a while, it'll start burning there, it's only a matter of time

I have heard that before so it was actually a concern before I had my lights done. However, my car is rarely in direct sunlight for long periods of time. I park in a garage all day during the work day and by the time I leave each night the sun is pretty well down. Also park in the garage at home. The only true sunlight that would be on the car that could be magnified from the lens would be for like a half hour on my drive to and from home. I was warned about this from Daedalus Customs before I had my lights customized and then mentioned the potential issue that could occur because of the lens being modified. As a result I've tried to be even more careful with this as best as I can

Do you mean from where I actually got my headlights customized? The location of the shop is actually in Maryland. I had to take my headlights out and ship them to Daedalus.
