Would halo (angel eyes) work the same way as far as fitting them though? Dumb question probably but I'm working on doing a similar project with my '01 ES300 and I'm not good with headlight projects.

^^ pretty much. Unless your fitting projectors I wouldn't bother with halo's. Halos are gay enough, now with halogen lamps they'd be stupid altogether.
