halo tail lights
I really like the halo tail lights with the LED centers. However, I also like the nice red that my stock lights are already. Most of the pix I've seen of the halo/led's look very orangey. Can someone straighten me out here?

Stock tails look like old 80s lights when compared to these halos. It's hard to take a good pic of them. They're red not orange.
New LED Halo on the left and the normal halo on the right

I think these were tinted
Get in on the list. We're going to start taking orders in a couple of weeks

i have a set of jw's halo led lights, and i believe what you are seeing a lot of are the ones that have also been tinted (a variety of darknesses), to give you a different impression of what they really look like. believe me they are bright red, not orange or less than the red of the original non led light housings. in my case, i wanted them to appear less red, so i had jhonathan do a light tint on my set. JW is a great company to deal with and they will work with you to produce exactly what you want in the lay of looks.

Got mine from Jhonathan (JW@JWMotoring.com) and completely satisfied. Top notch customer service as well!!! Not orange at all and no tint on mine. Here is a pic at night:

The Halo LED lights are red - and look so much better than the stock tail lights. Get them, you won't be sorry.

I have some stupid questions about the Halo's.
1-If you have JW's LED's with the Halo option,during the daytime, what part of the Taillights light up when you brake and use your turn signals?
2-Does the Halo Ring and Center LED's light up?
3-Just the Center LED's?
4-Just the Halo Ring?
I'm interested in these a lot, but haven't seen anything mentioned about this that I know of.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Actually while we are discussing custom tail lights, I used to love that purple/blue 'jewel' that hot rodded early 50's cars used to have. Loved how it dazzled my eyes.

Another big plus is that these lights make by C6 buddies jealous as they are not available for the C6!

The halos are definitely red, just a different shade than the OEM housings. I could see how they would look more orang-ish on more of a contrasting color than torch red.
Here is a good comparison pic. Halo on the left: OEM on the right.
Bought a spare set?
