Well after doing the fogtobrake mod the next DIY I wish to tackle is the DIY JDM headlight mod! Im thinking when I have the headlights pulled apart I might as well drop in a set of teh high quality AAC halos. So I have organised a group buy with Justin from AAC, he is going to offer us Ozzy guys a bit of a discount. Normally these kits go for $220 USD, he is going to offer them to us ACOA members for $220 AUD delivered. Sure you can get kits for half of the price one ebay, but to me paying for a higher quality kit makes sense as I don't want to be going to the hassle of pulling apart my headlights to replace a dud halo after a few months use! Here are some pics: 6K Emits a white light: 8K Emits a bluey/white light: 10K Emits a blue light: Custom colours such as this red & amber kit: ![]()

thats exactly how my car looks now except i got a elegence lipno simon i am getting both lol AAC and asian ones but at the moment i'm trying to look for LED ones because they last forever where as ccfl halos are fragile and can break. ok here it is ASIAN halos vs AAC ASIAN Positives cheap looks cleaner up close very bright plastic outershell for protection Negatives can take a while for a cold start can be blinding at night AAC Positives looks more elegant average brightness waterproof ballast instant start up Negatives very fragile because of the adbsense of a plastic casing expensive adhesive visible when looking up close on the left is AAC on the right is the asian one

AAC is more then double the asian one. i'm still thinking maybe its possible to remove the plastic casing of the asian one and fit it that way. |

You mean 6000K/10000K? 600K would be yellow central haha! The law doesnt actually have a Kelvar rating, and the Halos are for park lights, not driving lights, so no worries there. I've got 8000K HIDs in the post, as the law states for the driving lights:
Also states:
So one can argue the fact that the lights are predominantly white! Nothing law can do about this (for now...) http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/vehicles/get-your-lights-right.html |

Well he gave me a group buy price on 5 kits. I'm in so that's one so I need 4 more participants. If the majority of the buyers are in Sydney yes I will arrange for them to get shipped to Sydney if not I will get it airmailed to Newcastle and I will ship the orders separately myself to wherever they need to go. |

Wez, I've seen the LED kits and they are not as bright. But agree, would last longer if protected from the heat of the headlamps. |

The oven is teh best way. You can use a heat gun but apparently the oven is the best option. I will post up the link which AAC have on their website, but they recommended you use an oven as it gives a more uniform heating compared to a heat gun. It's only heated to 110 Deg c to basically soften the sealent which bonds & seals the lense to the housing. As for the pics, I have already posted up a heap of pics of these halos installed on the cars also
