Default Sweet!!! Got my Halos!

And damn they look good!

Not sure if I'm going to install them today.

Bought 'em from JWM, and they showed and put a HUGE smile on my face. They look great, huh?
(They look even better in person. Hard to explain, but they definitely look better in person than my camera can show.)



I also bought the switch backs from JWM to compliment the look. I think next I'll get the LEDs for the license plate spots. I bought the adjure back up plate too, but I don't know if I'm going to put LEDs in for my back up lights unless they're brighter.

I haven't received the hyperflash harness yet, so I'm not sure if I should install the flashbacks and halos yet. Any adverse effects from it?

UPDATE!
Night Picture!!! Looks so freaking sweet!

You will indeed for the switchbacks. The halos by JW are pretty good about hyperflash. I run a set and I have no problems. You are going to love them my friend. The only disadvantage is you cant see them when your driving!

Thanks.

The install should take you less than 1/2 hour. Its pretty straight forward and easy to do. If you need help PM me and I will give you my phone # and walk you through.

I got mine about a month or two ago from JW and LOVE them! Someone commented the exact NEGATIVE thing about these....you can't see them yourself.

I don't have the harness and had no issues with hyperflash...just make sure the car is running.

OK. I installed them and I didn't get any hyperflash!!! NICE!

Now when I get the harness, I'll install the switch backs! I can't wait. The halos look SWEET.

Looking forward to a night shot of them.

One of the best mods I have done. Had no problem with Hyperflash for about a year, then finally had to get the harness a couple years ago...

I love my Halo's too! I did not have a hyperflash issue with just the halo's. I put LED lights in for the license plate and hyperflash started. I had already purchased the harness, so I put that in and no more hyperflash.

Nice! You have the back up plate I ordered too. Damn that's a great combination.

I guess there's no arguing the Halos rock.

The LED's don't put much of a load on the flasher,so the signals blink much faster than normal.(hyperflash)
Some people leave it that way,some don't.

I've been thinking about Halos,and gotta admit,they do look SWEET

Here goes Mo' Money....

^ buy them! I was very happy after I got the halos/adjure plate installed...it makes the car look wayyy newer. As everyone says, pictures don't do the lights justice. Plus its nice to see bright red faces behind you at lights.
