We can't do halos in those Euro lights.

I'm anxious to see how you can do the euro version. I was close, but lacked the macheniery nessicary to build a quality lens.

No way. I'm not even close to being able to do that. I thought he was talking about tinting them for some reason. I edited my reply.

Haters.
I don't know how anyone can hate on these lights.
Thanks for posting the pics. They look good.

Hey Jhonathan,
After seeing the pics from jdmvette and JMc I'm sold!! I want to order the Halo's with the Stage 2 Tint. I can do the RF mod myself. Can I place the order on your website? Then PM you my Order number so you know that's my order and that I want the stage 2 tint. So it will take about 2 weeks to cure or to ship?
Thanks,
Ray~
BTW, is this the correct way to do the RF mod??

Yes the option is on the website. Just leave a note in the instructions for stage 2. Yes about 2 weeks.
Yes that is the mod. I've heard of people jacking that up so be careful.

Cool thanks! I'll be sure to be careful, I've got some experience with a soldering iron. I'll send my order in tonight!
I can't wait!! I'll be sure to take pics.
Update: My Order is in!

The Halo mod is when the outer halo portion is the only light lit until you hit your brakes. Normally the whole tail light would be lit, but gets brighter upon pressing the brakes.
You can see pics of this throughout the thread that everyone added.
People call it the RF mod because George aka RadioFlyer started it I think? I don't know the history of it, but that's why they call it that.

I saw the halo and I like it. But I'm trying to figure out the "RF mod" statement and the youtube video. What is that about?

LOL! I was supposed to pick up my Zed today, but my bank closed hella early (What bank closes at 4?) So I'll have to wait until Monday. If I don't like the tail lights, I'm ordering these.

Oops! Running joke with my friends. Forgot people don't always call Z's Zeds. Zed = Z06.
It's an English thing... My friends and I say it to **** off a friend of mine. But it kind of stuck. LOL

It's very hard to capture pics because it's so shiny. Besides the polish in the screw holes I think they look good!
