Brian,
Your box is still showing full. I'd like to complete the set and get the back-ups. PM me when you can.
Jon,
...reminds me of a story, " No $h!t, there I was..." : )
Just kidding. Let me know how things go. Thanks for everything...

I agree 100%. Got mine a few days ago and put them on last night. they are Sweet! Took a few pics. Regular no-flash shots allow the halo light to over saturate the shot and a flash shot brings out the center reflector. Neither are representative of what they look like at night. So I increased the shutter speed and took my favorite shot. It's a little dark for other details but shows off the halos nicely. If you look at how dark everything else is, you can tell the halos give off nice light.
Edit: Forgot to add my thanks to Brian and Jon. brian was great to work with on this and Jon has excellent workmanship and was also good to work with.

Man those mod halos are sweet.
I might be looking to order these. Would anyone happen to have a pic of either the unmodded or the mod halos tail lights with the tail light louvers? (the ones that look like these.)

Hi Guys,
Fresh thread for ROUND 2 of the Modified C5 "Halo" Tail Lights Group Purchase... We are running it the same way however shipping prices have gone up a bit on Jon's end (KOLDNRG) who performs the modifications.
This is also known as the "Radioflyer" Mod who will perform this modification as well for those that already have the Halo Tail Lights
STOCK C5 "HALO" TAIL LIGHTS: $279 Shipped to Jon
MODIFICATION FEE: $60 Shipped to you...
Total For Both: $339.00
For our brothers to the North (Canada) add $20 for international shipping.
I also recommend you pick up a LED Relay Flasher Bypass from Richard @ Corvette Enhancements to totally protect against the possibility of a hyper-flash scenario. About $49 I believe...
Link to First Round post 127
Here is the Round 2 List:
Randolph: Paid (Lights & Mod Fee)
Dan R: Paid(Lights & Mod Fee)
Larry W: Paid (Lights & Mod Fee)
George H: Paid (Lights & Mod Fee)
Randolph: Paid (Lights & Mod Fee)
David J : Paid (Lights & Mod Fee)
Your Name Here
1 Set OPEN for payment, I have left messages on voice mails for those that PM'ed
PM me your phone # to order.
I will update this thread regularly....
Have a great weekend !!!

just curious, while you were in there did you happen to see how to disable the resistor from the Halo?
they draw alot of current and get very hot. I have an LED flasher in my car so I have no need for the extra resistor to make the halo's flash properly. it would be really nice to elimiate that completely so the halo's don't draw so much current. can I remove the resistor and leave the wires open? or would I need to short them? I Can't tell if the resistor just adds to the load or if it also reduces the voltage for the LEDs...in which case removing it is not an option.

You may want to look into richard's LED hyperflash eleminator. It takes the place of the resistor and installs easily under the driver's dash.

They look good!, glad you like them, I am getting ready to tear into my own again, I ordered some VERY bright red led's and I am gonna put them in the halo to see if I can brighten it up even more, necessary? no, but tempting? oh yes.
