    I'm just trying to find out if anyone has ever tried to get halos on or in a set of Hella 500s or similar light? I am still gun shy about doing any retro fitting in my headlights or even blacking them out, but I am thinking about mounting a pair of Hellas behind the grill and getting some halos on them.

    Hella 500 are too shallow to mount projectors.
    Most retro a set of plug and play HID bulbs.
    They also have glass lens, might be difficult to split open.
    Hope info helps.

    It does. I've seen the HIDs, just trying to figure out a way to get spot type lights with halos behind the grill...
