I'm curious to see how it looks at night, and how it will look with the hid fogs.
For now, do you drive it at night? |

Looks aren't everything, especially when it comes to safety and head lights... If your gonna do this you should add projectors to your headlights, you will be all set, and have the exact same look for the most part.

Are you serious dude?? WTF is wrong with you?? This is worse than those idiots driving around with just fogs on. They still have headlights they could turn on. My roomate did the same thing you did plus 1 extra step. Added projectors. I cant believe you actually think you will be able to safely drive at night. And all HID fogs are going to do in the stock housings is throw light everywhere and look just as bad as your headlights.

I personally agree that halos look really cool without an overpowering light behind it, HOWEVER this seems like a fairly dangerous mod (screw legality, I'm talking strictly safety, and not just for you but also everyone around you, you're playing with a lot of people's lives that have no say in the matter). Did you ever consider flipping this mod and doing the HIDs in the headlights and blacking out the fog reflector then installing the halos there? It would give the same appearance but without the added headache. Not to mention I personally think it would look very weird and unbalanced, if you know what I mean, to have the bright lights down below and the dimmer lights up above.

I think you misunderstand me. The HIDs would be in the actual headlights, in other words, mimic an RS car without the halos on the headlights. The fog light reflectors would be blacked out with the bulbs disabled (as he currently has done with the headlights) leaving just the halos. This would give almost the same appearance as he is going for right now except the lights would be flipped (and legal/safe).

Halos look better with Hids at night imo. Throw some head lights on the car...I cant imagine why anyone with a brain wouldnt want headlights?
A;so did they have a larger size Halo ring? They look kind of small and weird. The stock ones are big enough to fill the headlight housing which makes it look a lot better imo. |

This is shockingly "wrong". Even if you're a fed, cop, judge, etc. all this "trust me I won't get caught" jazz is foolish beyond belief. If you hit someone; kill a pedestrian; hit debris in the road at night because you didn't see it in time... your insurance company will absolutely not cover you. In fact, once the police/investigators see what you did you may actually be facing criminal charges if there's a fatality, and at the very least you would most likely be getting sued.
This is unbelievably illegal and recklessly foolish. It doesn't matter how it looks; this is such a serious safety issue anybody with ANY sense would be telling you it's wrong. There's also the issue of other drivers being able to see YOU at night; especially in bad weather with reduced visibility. And ANY accident you're in? All somebody has to say is "I didn't see him because his headlights are painted black" and you're screwed. This is actually worse than putting a limo tint on your lights. If any police, sheriff, highway patrol sees this... you won't just get a ticket, they'll probably impound and tow your car and refuse to let you drive it away. Kid.... buy another set of headlights; either replacements for what you have or go to HID but PLEASE don't drive around with what you've done. I don't want to hear "it's cool", "I've been doing it for years with no problem" etc. It only takes a frightening second to kill someone and for someone (maybe even you) to lose their life because you think this "looks cool" is so wrong...so wrong...
