Here are some photos of my upgrades. Also the halos are switchback, so they work in conjunction with turn siginal and turn amber when turn signal is used.

Looks good. Do you have a how to? If so, post it up and I'll link it in the FAQ.

BTW, your IMG links were broken. I cleaned them all up. In the future, make sure the text looks like this:

Guys, Thanks for the compliments, I am very pleased with the result.
I did these myself. I had a body shop do them originally, when i had them paint and install my 08' sport bumper. The body shop completely screwed them up. They got over spray on the inside of the lens', broke my low beam adjustment screw, got glue all over the high beam chrome bezel. plus the Halos I had were Oracle, DO NOT BUY, they suck and some of the leds burned out within a few months. Moral of the story, you want it done right, do it yourself.
I'm sorry but I did document my project with photos(which I should have), as I did them over a weeks time to make sure I didn't rush it and make a mistake. Its not that difficult of a process, I used the how to link on this site, that someone put up on how to paint inside of headlights. Then once I had headlights open I just installed the Halos, demon eye led and clear projector lens that I purchased from The Retrofit Source. They have tons of videos on installing halos and other led type lighting inside your headlights. Their customer service is GREAT, I highly recommend them. Also if you open your headlights for any reason clear projector lens' are a must, my light output now is amazing. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer the best I can.

Pretty sure that is a demon eye mod. They are most useful at dusk and dawn, and the light goes off (or is washed out completely) when headlights turn on.
Then again, it does look a little bright for your average demon eye. Maybe it is the actual light color, though I didnt know anyone made red color D2s and/or H2 style xenon bulbs

Demon Eye is mounted in bottom of projector and shines upward, and with the clear lens it is a little brighter than most. Once low beams are on demon eye is completely washed out.

Looks pretty nice. Are they flashing in a timed sequence? Kinda looks like it but maybe that is just the response time of the LED vs the other bulb and the wiring sequence. If you do have them set up times in a certain order, I think it would look a little better with the order going outward away from the car instead of inward. It would just mesh better from a psychological standpoint with the lights moving in the direction you will be turning, instead of the opposite way of the turn.

The switchback feature on the halos is wired into the turn signal power wire. When turn signal blinks, halos turn amber. It would be really cool to have them blink in sequence outward, but that is not how they are designed.
