DIY DRL Halo Diffuser Ring Modifications

[sjmautoprod]

If you found something, I'm not sure if there would be enough distance between the LEDs and diffuser to do any good. We just tint ours and it helps.

Which they're probably not

But as long as you have enough $$$ anything is possible!

Here are some pics of our DRL Halos (using diffusers) being used in the headlights. The headlights do need to be baked apart:

These were held in place with 3M Automotive tape (so I was told.) Could probably use epoxy also. The inner side of the diffuser ring just fits inside the projector opening, so the outside of the diffuser ring sits flush. They are an excellent fit for this application. I would paint the sides of the diffuser ring black or sand them opaque with a scotch-brite pad.

tommy,,i have cut mine and others in my area, and the dremel is best way to go. reason, the dremel blade is very thin, cutting less product (plastic) from lens cover...also turn the blade backwards direction so it will not melt the plastic when cutting...make 3 swipes around going a bit deeper each time and your done...then use dremel sandpaper tool, and smooth as needed on back of lens cover, and also housing. hope that helps.

p.s. this refers to the DRL lights...not headlights..

Thanks for all the help. Now I just have to get brave enough to cut open my headlights
