Question Looking for decent headlights

I know there's not much in the way of 5x7 led halos out there, so im wondering if any knows any good diy kits to make some. I want switchback halos with green running lights and orange turn signals. I found Daniel Pace's build on youtube where he used led concepts halos, but it looks like theyve discontinued that product, so im lookin for anything like those, but a different brand. Probably going to use the same headlights, the Cree ones, as ive found other videos on em and their pattern doesnt look too bad, especially for thier price, it just comes down to the DIY halos.

I think halos are silly put your efforts and money into research and get some decent lights with good light out put and pattern

Check your DMV before adding colored lights to your vehicle in places they were never used.

I whole heartedly agree, however, the reason I responded the way I did was to show how a simple search that took less time than posting here yielded results. Personally I hate halos on any vehicle, but especially jeeps of any flavor...people with mall crawlers and angry eye grills who leave rubber ducks behind come to mind, lol

Haha yes. There are a million light options since our lights bolt in 500 thousand different rigs from jeeps to big rigs and Radio Flyer wagons.

I agree with you, understand you, but for one thing, what are these "rubber ducks" ? Sorry I am not up on these terms, please educate me!

A thing Wranger folks do; put rubber ducks on/in each other's vehicles... "Jeep Ducking"...

On topic, I'm very happy with the Wagner BriteLites

Edit: Should have added "on a relay harness..."

Been running Sylvania SilverStars with a Putco harness for what will be 10yrs this coming August. Bright enough for my old eyeballs. Very good patterns to.

Ive done plenty of searching, and havent been able to find anything, hence why i came here. Some times the "SiMpLE SeArCH" is completely different based on the different stuff google decides to show you due to search history and whatnot

I've had Truck Lites for years and love em. Easy to install and lighting on both dim and bright is great.
