Hey guys, I was wondering if the headlights on the 2010-2011 of an AC are the same as 2012? I was planning on getting some Oracle Halos that specified for that year. If not, do you guys know where I can get some? Ty in advance~

@YoungCoupe So I'd be fine with my 12 AC if I purchased these? http://www.automotivelightstore.com/altimacoupe.aspx Also, do you know how to change the color lighting on them if so

You should be. You'd have to ask them if they have them in other colors

I got my halos Theretrofitsource.com, they're the Morimoto XBALED ones. Much better than normal LED rings as they emit a uniform ring all the way around, without the dotty look of traditional LEDs. They also come in various colors, you just have to call them and ask them about it. You'll want the 90mm for the low beam and the 100mm for the high beam.

YoungCoupeThanks alot! Im guessing I would have to buy both the low and high? Sorry, not too good with this :/ and how much would it cost for someone to install it approximately?

Yup buy both if you want the dual halo look. Installation really varies from person to person, you'll have to find out who does retrofitting near you.

Can I just go to any car mechanic or body shop and have it done? Or would I have to find a specialist or w.e cause I live in the DFW metroplex (TX). I dont wanna get overcharged on labor to install since I have a clue as to do it myself. :ohno:

Not just any shop will do that for you but I'm sure somebody in your area does it.

The headlights will need to be baked open for those to be installed. Contact us at Dangeris Lumenations for a price quote! :chuckle:

Remember...getting your headlight modded is like getting a tattoo...

Imo the LED rings look better and they're definitely brighter. Atleast when you shut off the halos you don't have a yellow ring around your projectors but you might like that so I dunno..

and +1 to what dangeris said.
