Guessing this is a rendering?

It looks like an actual prototype he came up with.

Looks really good!

If it is a prototype then I'm fairly certain how he did it. You can see the striations on the halo, willing to bet he used one of SJM Autoprod's ABL pipes.

This is not a prototype..I used an acrylic rod and bent it into shape..I then made the little cuts myself using a rotory tool but they did not come out properly..I want to make sure i get everything working properly before I post details..

camaro2lt · 04-09-2013, 09:02 PM

where did you buy the rod at?

The Stig · 04-09-2013, 09:54 PM

Could just be an acrylic dowel rod

Just went to home depot and bought what they had. You can buy any acrylic rod depending on how thick you want the ring. At first i bought them just to test how to mount the leds and what thickness i would initially want. Im also testing different ways to get the most output out of the halos.
