I was skeptical at first, but that actually looks good.

Haha it feels great to be apart of the halo club! I also wasn't sure if I wanted to do this but I thought that if I got the rings just around the low beams (since its a projector) it would look good, rather than having a ring around the high beams as well, where there is no projector. When there are rings put around the high beam, that's when it starts to look a little tacky, which is why I only have them around the low beams.

WARNING: Lots of pictures!
I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone is on dial-up anymore



But I really like the blacked out housing. Goes well with the grill.

You are right, I really hope no one is on dial up anymore in today's world. Thank you, that's the theme I'm going for. It has great contrast

Car looks nice. Get DRL's to match the lights.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was going to do next, along with the fogs. I'm just not too sure about the LED DRL flickering issues and the decoders not fitting in the housing. Any ideas on that?

Looks really good. I have a similar set up as you and although a lot of BMW owners hate on them, I love them.

Post up some pics so everyone can see, I'm interested in seeing what yours looks like, and I agree!

I'm not a fan of halos but it actually looks good on yours. I really like the blacked out housing.
