    Sweet, thanks! for the quick replies.

    The halos are a little too ricey though. I may put them on without plugging in the halos.

    FX-R Projector Retrofit with Apollo Shrouds, Digital HID 55 watt ballasts, D2S Philips 85122+ bulbs in the Winter and Digital HID 55w 5k bulbs in the summer, Bakflip G2, Pop N Lock, Tint, Grillcraft with PIAAs behind it, ScanguageII and a few audio/video upgrades.
    I had the gen 1 plug n play projectors for about a year and then I decided to do my first true retrofit. For me, I wanted the real thing all along so the plug n play projectors were just a stepping stone. I didn't hook the halos up until the last few weeks I ran the gen 1s. I was bored one day while waiting for parts of my retro to arrive in the mail. The halos did not work well in the cold and would not reach their full brightness when it was about 35 or below. They worked well otherwise and I agree they are kind of "ricer" or BMW looking.
