Im glad I posted here first. I suppose that's the difference with the $400 pair advertised. I was looking for a replacement bolt in alternative. I got no time to really play around and do it myself, plus theres no doubt id cake it and fail miserably lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering taking them back out and returning to stock. I'll miss them if I do, but not the death of inverters every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pop the bonnet and disconnect them when I notice...but have to actually notice. I go looking for reflections in windows and clean black cars.Have considered wiring the power boxes up so each one powers one ring on each side, so if it goes I lose both big or little halos. Would look much better until I fix it up. Have a couple power boxes left from my bulk order so might give that a go instead. Plus I can plug in whichever rings look best without the other two.

Hard to go past this bargain of $8.50 a pair, delivered. Bought 2 sets.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2X-Spare-Inverter-Ballast-12V-4-outputs-for-BMW-CCFL-Angel-Eyes-Halo-Rings-Kit-/261111165743?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccb70332fThe only reason I haven't done my rewiring trick above is because it states never shorten or lengthen the wires...reckon I might do it anyway. If it kills a CCFL they can come out. If it ignites, I have an extinguisher at the front of my seat hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap though. Mine were about $250 delivered to Aust. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatp3 Member 2 Member For: 11y 3m 26d Posted 20/09/13 06:25 AM Share Posted 20/09/13 06:25 AM Forgot to add....In SA (don't know about other states) it is not legal to just wire these to come on with parking lights. If they are non-factory then they have to be off when any other light is on! To achieve this you'd have to wire them to an acc (always on) circuit and then fit a relay to your parking light supply to disconnect the halo when the parking light comes on. This seems a crazy reg when lots of cars come stock with DRLs that stay on with other lights. I thought the kind policeman that told me this must be mistaken but TransportSA confirms this stupid rule. Whether anyone would actually get defected for this I don't know. The rings can only legally be white (while driving) as well. Oracle do some colour changing ones but not legal here, although I suppose you could set them to white when driving and colours when posing, if you're into that kind of thing.
