Started on my halos from AAC last night. Getting the lenses off will make your bunghole pucker, it feels like you are gonna break them, but after that part was done its pretty easy. My wife came out into the shop last night and sat down and the first thing she said was "It sure don't look like a brand new car anymore." Got some pics while I was doing it and then when I finished this morning hopefully take some tonight after sunset.

Wow, you did this before the concept was even out?

Caught the date difference as well

What are your thoughts on the differences between the stock white halo and the new red ones? The red ones 'look' not as bright but that could be from the color change, camera etc, what do they look like in RL?

Also, was it required to take the front wheels off to do this mod, or were you doing something else?

Cool! You can change colors!

Stupid camera wants you to set date every time the battery gets changed. Actually my car didnt have the halos, I added these they have both the red and white. Took wheels off so I could take the inner fenders out to get to the bumper cover bolts easily.
