Cheapest halo set up...

I am sorry guys if this has been discussed or beaten to death.

I'm looking for the best value on halo rings(I'm fine with LED or plasma.) for my 2LS. I'm really torn on a few things. I haven't taken my car to any shows but may in the future so that's why I want the option to have red rings, but this car is my DD so I must have the option for blue/white rings. I don't know if I should just get white/blue rings, or colorshift or what.

I am all about durability and support of forum sponsors and so on, but I'm not overpaying to a crazy extent for them either. I just wanted to hear all of your personal opinions on what is the best set up and what you would reccomend.

I have done the afterburner tailight rings and interior lighting, so I plan to do this all myself.

I had the oracle color shift before I got my RS lights. I assume converting to RS lights is something you don't want to do?

Just a quick FYI, the oracle color shifts could never get me the "pure" white I wanted. Don't know if that's something that will bother you or not

I've considered it. Does anywhere have them that aren't $400? That seems crazy to me. I've considered oracle plasmas in one color. I just don't know. I would love pure white, but a blue hue is fine by me. I am really torn on getting colorshifts or not. I just want two colors, red and white/blue.

Yea, with the dual color setup from oracle, you're going to have to settle on either white/red or white/blue. If you don't want to settle, you're stuck with going colorshift. If you don't mind the blue hue in white, then I think you may like the colorshifts.

P.S., I know the RS headlights are expensive at 700 for both but they really are a worthwhile investment since they also light up the road 100 times better. I also like the look they give the car but that's personal preference.

I have their multicolor halos for the fog lights and headlights, got the headlight ones from a member here, 1 light was out and they warranted the entire set to make sure all was good.
