Question about Halo Ring, color change

[JJSoCrazy]

Just wondering, is anyone considering changing the color of the Halo ring, maybe a deeper blue or red like the Camaro Black concept.

Thanks

Joe

Illegal, at least i'm pretty certain the red would be.

Its illegal I wouldnt do it. Plus its probably a good 1500-2000 grand change out.

[JJSoCrazy]

I have seen plenty of BMW's change it and it wouldn't be that much $ to change.

lol.

c'mon guys - where do u come up with this stuff. I use to own a G35 Coupe and I found the G35 Driver forum to be so much more useful then this Camaro forum. I hope that has nothing to do with "class" of peoples who own these sort of vehicles (btw: I now own a camaro).

I didn't do the RS package. But I will put in an after market HID projections system. I high end one costs apx. $200 Canadian dollars. the Halo Rings, Apx. $80.00. $280 bucks in parts.

Looking at a youtube video on how to do this installation myself (which shouldn't be rocket sceince) = free.

I know for a fact that red and blue lights are illegal due to emergency services colors, but I wonder if orange is okay? My car is Black with IOM interior and also IOM COWL stripes. I think orange Halos would look great on my car.

Yup, red, blue, yellow, orange are illegal in almost every single state. Whether as headlights, or as trim lights anywhere on the car.

If you want to risk getting pulled over, you can go with a white with purple or blue tint. Its not going to give you what you want really, but at least you'd be able to contest it a little easier. In WA state, there are no end of purpleish white and blueish white HID lights. IMHO, they are f-ing annoying in oncoming traffic late at night. Extremely distracting and quite bright/blinding... Again, its my opionion, but there should only be 1 standard color temp for HIDs, and a maximum brightness.

I am not sure what laws apply to other states but in Oklahoma you can not display red lights to the front and blue lights can not be displayed in any direction on vehicles that are not designated as emergency vehicles like police, sheriff, highway patrol cars, ambulances, fire trucks, etc.

Basically a privately owned personal vehicle in Oklahoma that has red lights visible from the front or blue lights visible from any side is in violation of Oklahoma state statue Title 47-12-227.B or Title 47-12-227.D.

The law also goes on to state that even if the lights are not illuminated but the vehicle is equipped with the lights the driver is in violation. Ussually the fine is like $187 but has a maximum fine of $2000.
