Halo mod
Who has replaced their stock tail lights with HALO LED tail lights? Whose did you buy and why? And did you do the MOD to just have the outer ring lit when not braking or turning?
I am seeing prices from $290 shipped to $379 for what appears to be the exact same lights...

Before and after LEDs from JWM...
Personal preference, but I prefer the halo without the individual LEDs. And I opted not to use blackouts because they look great in daylight with the lights off.

How do they achieve the solid look, as opposed to the upgraded LED halo ring that's clearly discrete? Do they use some kind of light-guide fed from a few LEDs?
If you brake or use your turn signals without having the lights on, the halos remain unlit, right? I haven't seen a photo showing this situation, does it still look nice and neat?

I see what you mean. Just a few more questions, I read the internal area is composed of 28 LEDs but I haven't been able to find out how many LEDs are installed in the standard halo ring. Do you have any idea?

With this led halo mod there are 21 leds on top and 21 on the bottom.
The standard halo ring is just plastic with one led on each end. With the led halo option we modify them by removing that system and installing our own flex led strips.

This stuff gets confusing with all of the options.If you have more questions feel free to contact me direct.

Not the best picture of the tail lights but hopefully you get the idea. I also figure that if you spend that much for lights you might as well see them. I had planned to go with blackouts but changed my mind after installing them.

I have no complaints other than I wish I could look behind me, lol. I got the "halo mod" version which is the way to go if you do get them. I got mine from JWMotoring. Radioflyer was a bit expensive and it would have taken them an additional 1-2 weeks. That's just my personal opinion.

I purchased these. I personally thought they looked pretty damn cool. A friend of mine had them on his Vette years ago and then low and behold I purchased a Z06 last month and had these already ordered to install them on the car.
