Looks great! Only thing so far I'm not really digging are the high beams, those still look like normal halogens, is that correct? I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread, maybe a different one, it's better to have halogens for high beams though because they are typically only used for flashing and that can be bad for HID's I guess. o_O
So you say /show yours turn on a halo when the parking lights are on, but Radioflyer has said their kit does not have the halo effect. Is there a way to add that on to the kit?

The current version of the ACA headlights we sell does not have halos. We did sell some of the Chinese version in 2012-2013 but once we found they had as many problems as they did, we stopped carrying them.

They are a little off, but not nearly as much of a difference as the halogen to the HID. The LED bulbs we use now are a little closer to the HID color.

If they are working now, it means we fixed most of the problems ahead of schedule. If it isn't broke, don't worry about.

Anyway to opt for whiter low beams at the time of purchase so they match the high LED's and DRL's?

1) Burn in time: These are brand new bulbs. Over the next ~10 hours of run time, they will color-shift towards the blue side of the spectrum. After a few nights of driving, they will be their correct color.
2) The LED high beams are about 6000K color temp making the HID bulbs appear more yellow by comparison. The LED bulbs we use now are about 5000 and are a closer color match.

The HID bulbs in the photo are 5000K (pure white) A few things need to be taken into account to explain the perceived color:
1) Burn in time: These are brand new bulbs. Over the next ~10 hours of run time, they will color-shift towards the blue side of the spectrum. After a few nights of driving, they will be their correct color.
2) The LED high beams are about 6000K color temp making the HID bulbs appear more yellow by comparison. The LED bulbs we use now are about 5000 and are a closer color match.
